However, the local who have been here with metal class incomes still have the dream of home ownership and fully renovated luxury options are not the best choice for them.

A system based on infinite borrowing until some point in the future when the whole system collapses and we switch to a new (and most likely digital) currency backed by precious metals.

PVC, Rubber, Built Up, Tar/Bitumen, Metal, etc...Generally, you'd be looking at somewhere between $4-7/sf in much of the country (and I'd think western Washington should be in that group). 

Thanks Colleen, I have considered exactly what you said and have a company coming Friday to install a metal fence around the pool for extra safety.

what is the advantage and disadvantage of metal roof in Ohio?

yeah as title. i have a mortgage on my own house. recently a 4plex on fb caught my eye. theyre listing for 300k, new construction, on i think 1/2 acre or 1 acre mostly seems a big dirt parking lot in front. 1800sq ft. they claim the units rent for 1050. obviously these are small units 1 bed 1 bath, doing the math 1800/4 is 450 sq ft per unit. they look nice, being new construction, albeit spartan inside, metal building, concrete floors, washer dryer hookup. semi rural Oklahoma but about 80-100 miles from dfw. they also say all units are under 6 month lease (it seems to be friends of theirs, i'm guessing, as they mentioned it was full "despite not even listing it yet"?)

Living where you can afford to live isn't a new idea anyway; it's just that in today's mindset of "I should have my every dream and desire met all the time and money shouldn't matter", there's too many people chasing Charleston, Asheville, San Diego, Portland, etc and that makes housing prices there expensive.
