When realizing this, I asked her about her 'spikes' in her electrical bill.

When this recession ends and the buyers market turns to a sellers market, your tenant may move and you could be forced to lower standards because well heeled renters want better areas.

I was looking in Ronald/Cle Elum before the prices spiked and was too scared to pull the trigger and now I’m kicking myself!

If they think they are just dealing with you they may just dig their heels in.

Just seeing such a crazy spike makes me curious to see what other types of cash flow opportunities I can get into with 100k+ of capital. 

found shotgun shells, bullets, knives, 1/4 stick dynamite(stump blaster) and my favorite a tree climbing harness with leg spikes.

In my opinion, saving 30% on purchase price (B) for a sacrifice of just 14% in rental return is heading in the right direction, but not enough unless POSITIVE cash flow is nipping at your heels.

These are positive signs for the real estate market; however, if interest rates spike, the apparent improvement in the real estate market could be short lived.

I find that's the Achilles heel of this niche.

Anyone else in the BP nation seeing a spike in web site visits from Russia?
