I have had clients that have gone the eclectic and gently used route and it worked out for them but I can tell you they did a lot of work to save money! 

"This is the story that started the “be more with less” movement for me.

I think there will be continued movement especially out of NYC and LA as more people are able to work remotely.

For that reason alone we know inflation is here to stay.I also observe that price movement and valuations are never linear over time.

(They’re commonly used by hunters to scout areas for animal movement.)

This isn’t even taking into account the corporate debt bubble crashing simultaneously or the work from home movement will encourage more companies to leave this area especially if it means life or death!

I love the fact that my EA keeps close tabs on what I amortize and what I depreciate, understands my real estate goals and is honest and frank with me, in a gentle way.Of course you still need to understand the tax process and implications.

This is in SF Bay Area (may have some soil movement due to earthquakes). pH of our local water service is around 8.3-9.4.Trying to decide if we should repair the water line or replace it:A) repair- likely male adaptor cracked where copper joins PVC or maybe it's a 90 turn near by (per plumber) [no warrantee it won't leak elsewhere later]i) cost: under $1K, find cracked joint, repair it.A good idea: Possibly extend the copper at main under the concrete, so the concrete to PVC joint is in dirt.

They may, of course, subject you to collection action but that can be quelled in its tracks by gently reminding them that the FCBA allows for an award of damages plus twice the amount of any finance charges - or higher amounts (unlimited liability) if a pattern or practice of violations is established.
