@David Bridgman Legacy has a great program to get homes in the park, they also have a factory in Georgia so getting homes to Florida would be very simple.

But Ben's little town is just one Auto plant coming in and building a new factory away from a rebound :) example whats potentially happeging in Toledo with FIAT Chrysler and the state selling bonds to facilitate it.

Another factor I am noticing is that townhomes and Single family properties remain competitive, the main difference is that last year condos were a colder asset you could negotiate down in price and offer with contingencies.

I still feel like there's a good niche for these kinds of investments in my area; they tend to be more affordable than newer construction (with fairly similar rents), and I believe the "character" factor is definitely applicable, especially in the trendier parts of Tacoma.

It's not worth using high-end products in my kitchen while the rest of my house is lame.

You wouldn't want to invest in a place that has 100 factories and 50 houses.

I'm in several professional groups and this was a common issue across the entire country for the entire tax season and will remain a challenge for years to come.Given all of this, the issue is not being SURPRISED PIKACHU FACE that a professional doesn't catch an error, the issue is that they have as few errors as they do.The defining factor is not whether or not your tax pro makes an error, the issue is HOW your tax pro handles the error. 

Reality is far different for most of us and that contingency factor is often challenged with surprises. 

They collected it weekly because everyone worked at the factory and if you didn't get the money they blew it on booze and who knows what else.I watched one of the sellers from the office walk to an apartment across the parking lot and talk to a woman at the door.

No one knows whether it will be an large layoff, factory closure, dramatic mortgage interest rate rise and just the median cost to own the median priced home is above the median income.Once this happens, the market will re-balance.
