Mind you, most of the Baltimore CF has a lesser opportunity cost because most of the $2.204 mil is earned monthly in cash and redeployed for various use while the LA money is essentially trapped in equity until sale of property 10 years later.If I were to use financing and reserve most of the $1.5 mil cash for servicing the debt.... that can be quite lethal an option.

With this job change I will have to move and I may use the equity in my current home to invest in something, I just like the idea of cashing out the 401k because to me it feels like a mechanism to keep you trapped. 

From 1 TIM 6:9-10:Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.

Having that option pushed toward us, I could see where people making an emotional decision about a house or area they want to be in could fall into that trap.

We need to build better mouse traps.

Cumberland county regulates the limits of boarding houses, for instance, in Section 4-80.

@Karen Margrave  you would think.. but those that got burnt out have legal lots of record and can rebuild.. which is already starting to happen.. yes at least 20 of my friends lost their homes and all possessions and just barely got out with their lives.. and these are 5 to 15k sq ft homes with all the trappings of wealth that go along with it.. you need security to keep folks from rooting around looking for diamonds  etc.it was devastating I drove around the area last month ( my mom lives there)we are working on our Rohnert park property and Sonoma got hit even harder and no special favor.. still have to do our focused EIR.. but looks like we are going to get commercial on the bottom and 3 stories of apartments or condo's on top.. so it should be a pretty cool project.... like the article I have owned this since 1994....

The best feature is I am stealth to police speed traps.

There are many other traps that can get you in trouble too.
