I have a cute little cabin in a mountain town half way between Sacramento and Tahoe, at 4000 feet elevation.

Yes, I agree, the barrier of entry is fairly low but thats how free-market economies and democracy is supposed to work, least amount of restrictions needed so that people can pursue their betterment of self, vs socialist autocracy where near to none are allowed to elevate self unless graced by some nearly unattainable authorization. 

The outlying areas are your best bet for better returns and elevated Cap Rates.

We will just have to see if we can get used to the elevation and snow.

And don't get me started on how every time I'm in the elevator in public housing I have to step over the puddle of urine and hold my breath for 19 floors. 

Hahahah WTFI love it you filthy animal lol 🤣I know it's illegal but I would tare down $40,000 worth of work for lack of payment.Have seen it done many times lolI started my career as a laborer in Sydney.Swept floors for 4 years and carried sheetrock, studs, etc...High rise office fit-outs.Could never take the elevator with the white collar folks as we "where" filthy animals.Funny thing is, I made more money than most of the suit and tie guys 🖕Construction in Oz is very well paid and not much shady biz in not getting paid.But yes, treated like S#@% over there also.

It could also be because of structural issues like over deflection in header beams and columns or more isolated structural problems.Jassem,I agree with older structures having most of their secondary settlement dissipated but the only true way to tell is by collecting soil samples and doing laboratory tests and/or establishing a benchmark somewhere on the foundation and measuring the change in elevation over-time.

Oceanfront, pool, elevator if over one floor.When calculating BTCF, make sure it includes the HOA fees and any assessments that have been levied against the unit.As for financing, these residential investments can be a hit or miss.  

It's law (yes, CT too) that if a child shows elevated blood lead levels (BLLs) that the Dr has to report it to the state DPH.

I live in Northen MD and just today found out one Extra Storage location (801 Long Dr, Aberdeen MD) is doing $18 for 5'X6 and $42 for a 8'X10', indoor elevator accessed, climate-controlled taking over its competitors' business.
