I really want to be able to run a sort of music retreat/recording studio out here, surrounded by nature but still pretty close to the city.

@Rick Pozos  just curious on what events you see happening by 2019 that would cause your market to retreat in prices... or hit bottom as you state???

Massey, but have received many recommendations for classes/seminars/retreats already.

If you are thinking of going to this please shoot me a private message. i have a question for you.

Corporate retreats, weddings, birthdays, graduations... do people spend way too money on those things in the midwest like we do in the Northeast??

I've had dreams of opening my own reunion/corporate retreat ranch for most of my life and I've finally found the perfect place:It's perfect because the sellers are having an unfortunate family feud - but they're selling it for a lot cheaper than it should be (I hope that doesn't make me sound like a bad person).

Sorry I was distracted from topic.The reason people take less is they don't know what to do and they take the alternative that is offered that limits their losses as much as possible.Sometimes we all have to cut our losses and retreat so we can rally for the next battle.

This is especially true if you're headed to a high tax state (which is unlikely if you are retreating from CA).* You pay for and do no repairs on your place.* YOU'RE NOT STUCK!
