Basically, the whole house is peeling, and the lead paint needs to be remediated inside and out.I imagine a scraping/light power washing method to get the loose stuff off the exterior and then repaint to encapsulate the paint is the best method.

Things pulled back and the excess and bad inventories were liquidated through the RTC.This set things up for the bigger build up in the early 90's through the tech bubble and lurching even faster forward as the credit faucet was opened full in the late 90's and early part of this decade.

Our strip malls are loosing the anchor stores and all the small spaces are vacant and have been for some time now.

What do you do with your excess leads?

I was consistently nailed for loose hand rails, smoke detectors with the batteries taken out, Fire extinguishers out of date or not in place, loose door knobs, typical renter mentality stuff, the lines in the parking lot were not dark enough one year.

After I get a harness on it, I set it loose to fuel my daily efforts.

Any time I have excess cash I want to put into the stock market I simply buy Vanguard S&P 500 index fund.

The people of this country have been living a lifestyle far in excess of their earnings for decades.

My/one interpretation of the IRC is that by performing your own management/work on the property you are either 1. making excess contributions or 2. receiving personal benefit from the IRA.

If you happen to live in one, as I do, you must invest abroad.I also agree with Mike that investing longer distance can add "risk" but the word risk is a very loose term.
