Special thanks to @Mindy Jensen and @JJ Conway for suggesting we newbies remember hat we have skills in other (non-real estate) areas! 

As @Bernard W. points out, I wouldn't hang my hat on 3 data points. 

Hats off to you!

Doug - {keep this one under your hat, but} There are some places on the east coast with incredible beauty and more temperate climate than the Niagara Peninsula ... just not the population density, traffic issues, crime, or, yes, the economic engine.

As someone who has worn all three hats, it can be interesting at times.  

Buy a house for 80k and sell it for 200k for an investor and I'm pretty sure I can show up to work in a thong and top hat and they will still be happy.In regards to her other thread....Highest and best on a 60 day old property and she goes over original asking price.

As a former agent, I quit wearing both hats at the advice of my attorney.

In addition to the extra layer of drywall and sound insulation there are vibration clips that are installed under the joists and then a metal furring channel is installed running the length of the ceiling.

I have a my broker's license but seem to have found in most research that most investor's don't wear both hats so to speak when they do an investment deal.

I remember one had the "big hat, no cattle" comparison.
