The investment market should continue to be strong for the foreseeable future just hard to find deals on and off market, but you can't catch fish unless you going fishing everyday.

Or is it still the same way it's always been: that at any time, and in any situation, you can find a good deal and just keep fishing?

If you have ever Steelhead fished.. what Makes it so good is its only 4 miles up from Tidewater and NO boats can get through it they have to take out before they get to his place.. and there is one Hell of a Salmon run in the fall.. you get your two fish in about 30 minutes 15 to 30 lbs each.

Mostly see birds, fish and lizards.
