@John Weidner We love our gray stones....and want to keep them forever and ever @ Sharad M.

Repaint entire downstairs more neutral gray color.

He enjoyed getting updated on Grays Harbor.

The strategy is a very gray/flexible strategy so if something does come up that allows for a bigger purchase or the opposite with wait a year between purchases, it can bend to that.

@Clifford Gray When you use the phrase "are there legal ramifications" in a post, that is BIG CLUE that you need an attorney.

Once you've done the reasearch, presented and had shot down several deals by us "gray hairs" and have truly stumbled onto a "unpolished diamond" you'll know it.At that point you'll have the money, the skills and the aptitude to "walk the talk".

@Zachary Gray,If I were you, I'd keep the house, make it a rental and then go buy another home where you can live in, since owner occupied loans only require 5%.   

But only looking on the surface is a dangerous trap.When it comes to legalities, arguments like "what business is it of theirs" aren't going to hold up.As in most legal situations there are gray areas that can be argued either way.I don't know the answer, but this whole car dealership example just isn't the same.

Dorraine the key is whether you are working under a brokerage or licensee.If you are not working for a brokerage but a corporation as an employee and are a manger you do not have to be licensed.The company you work for should have an attorney interpret the rule.There are gray areas of the code subject to interpretation.Them being wishy washy has been my experience as well.In general law when a statute is ambigous (not clear) that part which is not clear is held to be unenforceable most of the time.What the GREC us trying to avoid is giving you legal advice.When you call them their answer if anything is questionable or unknown they will say NO.That doesn't mean they are correct they are just playing it safe.This is why many companies run things through their attorneys to make sure what they are doing is in compliance with the laws and statutes as stated.

It seemed weird to drive by there and not see the gray cement tower of the nuclear plant.I hope you have a great weekend and a profitable week!
