And only one person asked me this question : Pavel, I don't need to know how much you make, I want to know how much you could save and back then I was only able to save $200-$300/month.I don't care how much top 1% makes if they spend it all, file foreclosures and become bankrupt after their ''Hollywood or Sport carrier is over''.

So my question is, what can I do in the world of Real Estate to start to pave my own way?

Town water and sewer is important along with paved roads.Go to 3 different local REIA clubs to gather people, info and resources.Get referrals for investor savy agents.Paul

This supposedly will pave the way for recreational legalization as well.So who knows really with a new president but medical marijuana is a tsunami no one is going to be able to stop.  

Tile and grout is  not waterproof, cement board was an improvement over green board as it doesn't rot like green board did, but it's water permeable, when the water gets through the tile and grout the tile doesn't rot off but the water gets into the framing and insulation behind it and allows mold to grow. 2016 we install water proof tile backers now like DensShield, which is even easier to install than CBU (cement board).

Pavel,I don't see that many notes in MN...and I've been buying since 2008.  

If you go for the seal it in route, you need to use non-permeable surfaces, like solid vinyl, or put down a poly barrier sealed before putting a floor on top of it.

They will be widening and paving a new highway, and will demolish homes as a result.

In west passyunk, they're also doing major infrastructure upgrades currently (gas lines, water/sewer etc) and when they're done with that.. paving the roads and re-doing the sidewalks (this was confirmed by workers last week when they were in front of my property). 

This means reserves for roofs, siding, irrigation, paving, etc can run short, therefore creating a potential for special assessments.Having said that, when markets rebound, condos follow.
