or plastic  garbage bags ( black ones)  and then wondering why they have mold  LOL

I've lived in Vermont my whole life, but after the summer of my high school graduation, I decided to pack my bags and move to Texas to pursue real estate.

Plus some sanding sponges and a dust mask, and a shop vac with a drywall bag inside it (otherwise you will destroy your shop vac with dust). 

@Julian Pilate-Hutcherson We work almost exclusively with OOS investors and it's a mixed bag...I sold 3 MF properties this month to folks that have never been to the state...and I have another set of clients that have been in the market for months and make routine visits to the city...I think it has a lot to do with comfort-level...truth told, we can leverage technology and get every possible detail on the table for review to make a pretty informed buy/pass decision...combined with an inspection and appraisal, there is really no need to be here in person looking at deals....

I just reached out to this and other communities to get cross section of thoughts and opininions and a mixed bag did I get.

My strategy has always been to buy opportunistically and I will continue to do so.I don't know what will happen, but I assure you it will not be a replica of '08Generals(Soldiers, etc.) always fight (prepare to fight, are condemnedto fight) the last war.  

Further, tenants will challenge an owner with nit-picky things once the cat is out of the bag.

If the market corrects however, you could be left holding the bag!

They are trying to do some work along the river - there's a brand new Bag o' Nails restaurant and condos/apartments up near the Craig Street bridge. 

In a pot i put quinoa, a bag of mixed frozen vegetables, lots of water, 2 bay leafs, salt, pepper, olive oil, 1 lemon, black pepper, italian herbs, 1 habanero (which i pulled out later).
