Cleveland is older (and grittier) and has pro baseketball/baseball/football, decent light rail, highly esteemed very established (100+ years) cultural institutions, etc. that Columbus is lacking.

Originally posted by @Julie Marquez:I think the I-5 corridor between Olympia and Vancouver is up and coming (Chehalis and Centralia are spending tons of money on new schools right now).and while your at it you could go out were the esteemed Brandon Turner lives and invests  Abeerdeen area.. plenty of lower valued SFR's in that area.Castle Rock is another below the radar but those areas ( all these are tough tenant areas) lots of displaced loggers and fisher type people.. so have to choose wisely.  

I think you may be referring to a post by my esteemed colleague @Bill Gulley, where he said, in relevant part, "[t]here have been some recent issues with contract for deeds, they have a pre arranged quit claim deed to be used in the event of default and have been determined as circumventing state foreclosure laws."

This would have to be based on the word of the investor-who-couldnt, because to question what they did or did not do would not only be detrimental to their self esteem but may also be racist/sexist/cold hearted/discriminatory by other means.

Now that you’ve defined the nightmare, what are the more probable or definite positive outcomes, whether internal (confidence, self-esteem, etc.) or external?

Bankers topped lawyers, but not teachers, the highest held in greatest esteem were doctors and police officers....oh my!   

I lost money but still have my self esteem and sleep well. 

Crpntr, if you can see that he is not a real threat, then so should our esteemed President and his Cabinet, and they should stop beating the drum of war and pissing people off.

Self esteem issues?

Toledo investors and landlords had our day in court today and really the day could not have gone better.We were awarded our preliminary injunction immediately stopping the enactment of the ordinance...we now have an absolute unequivocal ruling that the City of Toledo cannot carry forward with the threat to fine landlords who don't comply with their ordinance.This ruling is of course in advance of the Judge's final ruling on the case...for a permanent injunction of the entire ordinance.Of note - our esteemed Judge awarded our injunction citing validity OF ALL FOUR key justifications of the lawsuit:- The city of Toledo city council cannot hand over enforcement powers it doesn't possess as a legislative body (the cornerstone of unconstitutionality) over to the Lucas County Health Dept.- The city failed to have an agreement with the LCHD when they enacted the ordinance (they created one months later when we requested a copy for our lawsuit).- There is a violation of the equal protection of individuals (landlords) in enforcing this ordinance ONLY on owners 1-4 units and not on all rentals or all homes built before 1978.- The city fumbled the definition of Owner in their municipal code (we filed the issue in court about a week ago)...anyone who had a utility bill and controlled the property was considered an owner and thus exempt from the ordinance so totally muddying the waters two weeks before implementation was to occur.
