Even with this very limited watering schedule, our front and back lawn is green year round! 

I have dove into a lot of the "Best Sellers" but I like to read and learn from sources and as well-rounded as a new self-educating investor can be.Thanks for your time...

The military is doing preperation for a possible massive civil unrest.also this year, the federal reserve in new york moved to chicago stating they want to avoid a "natural disaster"the next federal reserve meeting is set for sept 16 and 17 where it could be when they do the rate hike.home land security has bought record levels of AR-15 ammo this year (62 million rounds)Norad announced this year they are moving back to the cheyenne mountains noting because it is EMP hardened possibly preparing for a massive attack?

While I got the impression that Door County has activities year-round, I take it that it's not like Telluride [alert: commercial beginning!)

I think will you find year round demand vs regular vacation spots with off season lower demand times.

I am new to the Round Rock/Austin area and interested in connecting with people doing multi-families. best,april

(These are all commercial loans, made out to LLC or Corp)Drake Bank (Used to work with Jeff Carter)Home Federal Bank ( Jason Madson, awesome banker, if the loan over 0.5M will take longer)Granite Community Bank (Jake, president's son, smart guy, low origination fees)Round Bank (Andy Klassen, low origination charges)Bridgewater Bank (Tom Johnson, the fastest banker that I love, my favorite, higher than normal origination charges though, 2.5 weeks to close a deal for him, have been working with Tom since 2006)Merchant Bank (sucked in 2007 at the day of closing they backed out of the deal, didn't follow their commitment and instead of financing 380k for me at closing financed only 120k, I had to borrow money from somebody else at a very high rate, just to keep my word).The funny thing is that the banker from Merchant Bank was my instructor at the University of St Thomas grad school, teaching me a banking class next year when she screwed me over the deal :)I know Jeff Carter from Merchants, he used to work at Drake Bank and financed many of my deals, and then moved to Merchants.

I'll buy the first round!!

The contract stated that the closing would take place on or before October 6th, but I requested that they do it within two weeks so I can come back to the states, start getting the place fixed up (it needs power washing of vinyl siding and some trim repair outside, and repaint and replace grotty bedroom carpets with laminate or hardwood to match the gorgeous cherry floors in the kitchen and living room)then head to West Africa for a couple of weeks, then return to the states, finish getting it ready to rent (furnishing it, mostly with craigs’ list stuff except for beds and linens) and put it on the AirBnB market, then head back out of the country again.All in all, I felt ok about the price-I saved around $2,575 by letting it go back to auction and waiting through several rounds.

But the last round of vacancies I had I experimented with Rent Rochester and Postlets as well.Rent Rochester was $35/apartment for a 30 day listing, and while I got a few leads, it certainly wasn't worth it.Postlets on the other hand, was a winner.
