I know some people will perform a pressure test on plumbing but I didn't and my gamble paid off because all lines were good.In my case this renovation was a success.

I have many folks from Monterey, MX investing just across the border in So Tx and further northward.

I'm in Los Angeles...market is higher than ever...bordering communities (westchester, playa de rey, are heating up and have been for a 6-8 months.  

(Side note: I have 2 different asphalt shingles brands on my roof and never new it until I was standing on it. 6/12 pitch, 25' feet up, each gamble roof side was different. ) If one roof needs to be replaced isn't the other roof needing to be replaced for the same reasons?

A new agent may gamble that with the extension of tons of effort a wholesaler relationship may lead to a listing but an experienced agent will know that the time extended on that would be more productive elsewhere.

You can can also make good money on short term rentals because we are on the border and Mexicans come vacation/shop here a lot.

Sure beats parking your money in a savings account making .02 percent or gambling on stocks atleast in my opinion

Between Oregon border and about half way to Seattle on the I 5 corridor.

Usually this will take weeks to do, so if that's the case you can either put it under contract with a contingency on receiving this information...or wait to put it under contract until you get the information.Some people may be willing to take the gamble or have the systems and processes and money to make it work on their behalf.
