Good luck with everything and if you're ever in the market to unload that property, I wouldn't mind getting some info on it :)Best,Dustin

The housing market in our area is tenuous, as our two largest, and pretty much only employers, are the University and a Lumber mill which opens and closes every several years.

Yes, you are right, I am at this point still afraid of the periodic weekly unload coin.

Best bet is to go to your local lumber yard and ask for suggestions while you are purchasing something from them.

Always run the most conservative numbers that you can find reasonable to ensure that you have a cushion included in the project.The majority of people do not sell their "cash cows," they unload their headaches.

The feedback from Chris seems to be most are looking for a place to unload cash and not leverage.

It's the lumber yard, dumpster company and roofer that I am concerned with.

Sometimes you just happen to hit the bank when they have to unload the property. 

Lumber quality was much better, building practices were better and dare I say craftsmen were generally better. 

Our realtor's broker knew a family who was looking to unload a property that was in a trust as part of an estate.
