On the one side of this you have landlords crying for justice, justice under the law and on the other side of this you have tenants crying for mercy and equality under the law.I personally believe the US Constitution is largely a sham, patriotism is often the last refuge of scoundrels, and there is no fairness in this broken world except between parties of equal power: the normal order of things is that the strong do whatever they want and the weak suffer whatever they must.

Lumber is appalling right now and I live in a big logging area and I've been surprised there aren't trucks running everywhere around me right now with prices the way they are. what prompted the call to my old partner was B/C as I was driving out to my project yesterday two log trucks weny by me on the opposite side of the road so I got a good look at the logs  All were burnt  so it was salvage timber I remember when Katrina hit there was over 10 million  board feet of Blow down in the south .. so prices were weak as they moved that timber to the mills but  finished product did not rise like we have seen.Just seems to be  good ole Gouging and price fixing..

Cash flow=$758My primary residence does not have enough equity for a HELOC The reason that I want to get a HELOC is to acquire another investment property (but this avenue is looking weak)  The problem: I can't get the HELOC on the investment property.. or at least I don't know how to. 

I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” and “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.

I'm going to say that with being so very new, it's a little bit tough to know exactly where my strengths and weakness lie.
