I have opted to go with some greener agents that work the area hard and can speak the language (Spanish, Russian or Hmong).

Unless you are from another planet or know something I don't I think you may be a little off here.

Many times it is a grass is greener conversation rather than a rational discussion.2.

Now there is no way on this planet I'm going to give someone a 50% down payment, especially when that equates to tens of thousands of dollars.

I can't think of another industry on the planet who would ever even dream up the idea of plastering their pictures all over their business cards...and anything else they can find as  landing spot.

While it's possible, I suppose life on another planet in another solar system is also possible.

You are in a perfect position to invest out of state...where "the grass is greener".

In 150 years there won't be a single person on this planet that even knew you were alive.
