This is the situation:I have been on a payment plan with the treasury dept.

If so, could someone help me understand how it's filled out. http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/ttdv1...Just trying to figure out-using hypothetical numbers above- what values I would place in # 6-9. 2.

You can make about the same if you put your money into a 30 year treasury bond that has no risk. 

I like US Treasury I-bonds and TIPS for conservative inflation hedges.  

Again looking at the Fed Funds Rate, 10 yr  Treasury, and their spread helps illustrate this point.

A 10 year treasury is close to 2% so a 3 cap in a market where lots of people have work and/or want to live and prices have historically gone up and rents are increasing then Portland is a good bet.

Treasury via his delegation of authority to the Internal Revenue Service.

in the world where ST treasury yield >= national cap rate --> holy cow RE is scary, better put into bonds :)since cap rate can't be pushed higher, then we have to wait til the interest rate eases, then we need to have CPI 2% again back to invest mode on. 

I haven't been following things, but my guess is that many of the MBS or CMBS are better risk/reward tradeoffs for fixed income investors right now than treasuries are.

Checks are made payable to the King County Treasury.Most people bring a cashier's check made payable to King County Treasury for the maximum amount they are willing to spend, whether they intend to buy just one parcel or bid on several.
