I found the experience extremely frustrating and will look elsewhere should I need a lawyer again (fingers crossed I won't need to).

Change and uncertainty is scary - so why leave something "solid" for something "liquid" that could easily slip through your fingers?

I want my kids to know the future doesn’t get better by crossing your fingers ,wishes ,hopes ,and dreams .. the future gets better by plan !

Wipe surface with TSP (1/4 handfull in 1 gallon bucket 3/4 filled water) using cotton rags (real cotton, not the non-absorbent stretchy stuff.)Dab latex (paintable) caulk or toothpaste into nail holes with finger (very tiny amount to just slightly fill the hole) wipe with dry finger, palm of hand or rag.When dry if there's still a sheen when viewed at angle then lightly "scuff-up" surface with 400 or 600 grit sandpaper wrapped around a 1x3x6" sanding block in long vertical sweeping motions.

Put in an offer on a Tri-plex...fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed.

You could invest the pile in an SP500 index fund and earn ~7% a year without lifting a finger. 

The collusion among agents and the NAR forcing sellers to pay 5% whether the buyer has an agent or not is disgusting and a big reason I am giving the finger to RE in general now. 

While I am convinced that the majority of the landlords on here would not have initiated evictions under the national emergency, it is clear that it was hijacked as a movement- effectively making your once hyperbolic statement, a reality.To that I say- I was wrong, and you, right.Now, I am very hopeful that I will once again be wrong in my very pessimistic economic outlook... fingers crossed.

I low balled the offer by 20%, it still didn’t pencil out at 20% list price but I wanted to practice making offers.Yesterday I made an offer  on a duplex 2 1/2 hours south of Seattle, the math works on this one, crossing my fingers.
