Too many complications can arise (insect damage, rot, leakage, shifting off footing, and ultimately collapse if not consistently monitored and inspected) DO NOT buy the house without getting a proper inspection done on it first.

Preparing for economic collapse or any disaster wouldn't be a bad idea.

We sell assets to China because they are calling the loans due and we can't pay.In order to stop the collapse the government will do what Mexico did and devalue the dollar by 50%.

The problem was not the debt, it was the overblown valuations and the collapse of income. 

I would not be surprised if these knuckleheads cause the dollar to collapse from all this $$ printing.

So yes in my opinion, when the futures market for oil runs cold, and speculators dump their contracts and take their money somewhere else, we will see a relative collapse in oil prices.

Simply screwing, nailing, or bolting the deck together (butt-joint style) is NOT good enough to hold together load bearing decks since over time they weaken and snap at the most inopportune moment.Back in 2003 a Chicago area deck collapsed - killing thirteen.

After doing my research and analyzing this market, I fell in love with the possibilities and cannot fully express my excitement to be here.There are multiple topics discussing the uncertainty and the upcoming collapse, however my opinion differs in terms of investing.

I hate to buy for appreciation only, as then every maintenance issue and catastrophic issue (Collapsed Sewer Line, Air Conditioner, etc.) has to come out from your own pocket and not the investment.

Fixed the collapsed subflooring in the bathrooms both sides. 2.
