It's like saying you want to show people you're a long-distance bike racer so you hop on a stationary bike at the local gym and start pedaling away.

Depending on your specific tenant type, a nearby gym may also be a great opportunity.

She says is just two hours worth of work but I tend to disagree after looking at the existing trim in the house, all the trim from the floor to the ceiling needs an overhaul to look new again.In the five years they lived in the home the owners replaced or renovated the following:AC, dishwasher, windows (double paned with blinds in between panes, can open to reach the blinds), flooring (throughout was very nice but I'd replace the peel-n-stick with laminate so it would be laminate throughout), sheetrock, texture, and paint throughout, ceiling fans and light fixtures throughout, sinks in both bathrooms, chain link fence dog run added, and a storage shed.Other positives:  I talked to neighbors and they are very happy living there, there is a beautiful and big rec center, gym, kids playground, monthly potlucks, people wave to each other as they drive by, there's a craft group that meets, etc. 

That's why gyms, coaches and peer-groups work so well.

That is cool you own a cross fit gym...you will see the flip and buy hold info here, and one or the other (or both) may fit your lifestyle and skills.

However, there's no guarantee how long that would be (or at least, I don't have enough knowledge to know--if you know, say, with good evidence, that 2 years from now the prices will drop significantly then waiting is prudent).If there is no real evidence of large, detrimental economic factors going on (war, people moving out of the Bay in masses, an unusual amount of new construction making the supply on houses extraordinarily large for a prolonged amount of time), then there is no reason to assume that the seller's market will swing back to a buyer's market any time soon.The fact remains that the population in the Bay is growing year after year, tech companies are still expanding (to such a point where they are closing down Gold's Gyms, grrr, but that's another story), and this is still a highly desirable place to live.  

Off to the gym..Chris 

Great information to listen to during a gym workout.

There are so many new, large lifestyle apartment complexes with pools, coffee bars, gyms, fully furnished units, etc...

Network with co-workers, church folks, gym buddies, golfing buddies, whatever to see if something's coming open.
