Quote from @Michael Paling: Quote from @Julio Gonzalez: Should I talk to one even though I have no plans in looking for a lender?

We have a condo in Scripps Ranch and whatever cash flow we ever made on it pales in comparison to the appreciation we've experienced.Finding properties in SoCal that meet the 50% "rule" are hard to come by unless you shake hands on a mouth-watering deal or buy somewhere in gang-land.

Also, I've started painting all of our units a very, very pale yellow/linen color (the wife picked it out and everyone that sees it loves it) and the trim all gets hi-gloss white enamel.

Such an ordinance is bad for landlords certainly, but that pales in importance to the overriding free society issue s this brings up.WRONG WRONG WRONG on so many levels!

Unless you have room to increase revenue, the return does pale in comparison to what folks are seeing on the rust belt on the other side of the Great Lakes, but it looks fine when stood alongside the over-heated mess that is Toronto these days.

Taking into account the debt pay down, tax benefits, and cash flow from option 1, that $20K profit from option 3 pales in comparison to option 1.

It will make clear $500 cash flow on a SFR pales in comparison.  

It's either my screen is too bright, or your new avatar is a little pale. 

LOL James Vermillion, I have some experience but pales in comparison to people on this forum.

Beige with white trim is so common, I would paint an accent wall in the living; or paint the kitchen "Pottery Barn" sage or the hall bath pale metallic silver with a shimmery, trendy shower curtain.
