If you've got something better going on, I'm all ears.

Ultimately motivating us to find other areas where we could once again find very high returns without having to leave to state of California.In 2016 my partner and I invested in a property in Monterey County which we locked under contract for $1.2M.

It looks like it would be very durable and probably cover up sub-floor imperfections but one of the things I love about the regular (cheaper) click-lock vinyl plank is that because it is flexible, it is super easy to install.

The admins/moderators could set it up and then lock it to preserve the content.My $0.02

Could be a bit lower or higher then that now as I locked a couple months ago

You probably already know this but it might be worth the time to set up an account with your local building materials supplier (Not lowes or HD) those folks always have their ear to the ground and can often recommenced better options. 

If 7 days later you find a buyer that set date does not change... he now has 7 days...Also I imagine the $10 or $100 goes to a title company, however offering someone $10 to lock their house up under contract, seems like it isn't even worth it.

I am an out of state newbie and have been looking in Kansas City Missouri suburbs1 - I'm interested in a listing on Trulia, should I contact the listing agent directly or should I get a buyer's agent to represent me so I would have eyes and ears on my side?

You want to lock in 30 years.Let me tell you how easy you have it...My wife is an RN at a local hospital, she doesn't make $100k/year, much less did we have a spare $100k. 

NOI is your gross rent minus all your expenses except debt service.Commercial financing will have a higher interest rate and usually be locked for 5-10 years with 20-25 amortization.
