I've enjoyed one of his demography books about the evolution of cities in the 21st Century. 

However, there are investors here on BP that have spent a half century (or close to it) focusing on nothing but RE, building a RE empire and have an incredible amount of knowledge that's impossible for a 20 or 30 year old to amass.

For centuries keeping a store of 6 months to 1 year's supply of food was basic common sense.

Texas has joined the 21st century and effective July 1, electronic notary services will be legal.

People have wondered how much more local homes can go up for half a  century now.  

We are looking for something in a community such as century village.

I think Century Bank would also do one with 75% LTV and a lower interest rate, but they go off assessed value instead of an appraised value.  

(Thus we have NYC skyscrapers trading at 2% cap rates) and all the cranes in the world building Dubai up to be the world financial capital of the 21st century.

Not sure when that'll change but on a $/SQ FT basis, the house compares well to surrounding comparables - however the possible lever/challenge is that most of the surrounding area are houses built out in the middle of the 20th century - whereas ours was originally a farm house in Des Moines that was added on to and annexed as the city of Des Moines grew.
