Welcome to BP Nation Chris, sounds like you have a jump start, keep it up and stay active on the site, lots to learn here.

Yesterday I let the lines run full tilt for about half an hour (my water bill is going look like the national debt) and that didn’t cure it.

Welcome to BP Nation Javier!

Welcome to BP Nation Aaron.

But that's mostly due to the foreclosure process slow down in 2012, until the national settlement was done, then digested by the banks.Are new filings slowing, yes.

Kimo, welcome to BP a Nation.

If you are a member of a REIA one of the national benefits is 2% back at HomeDepot with ANY registered credit or debit card (I think you might be able to register gift cards too).Not sure if there is a maximum but there is a minimum where is you make even one purchase in a quarter you will get a $25 GC (At some threshold you get it as cash but on lower ones you get a GC).There have been times in the past where I have made one <$10 purchase and got that so it is worth registering your cards even if you don't do much at all.

Welcome to BP Nation Sam, great to have yet another CA investor on the site.

Welcome aboard, stick around and enjoy all that BP Nation has to offer.

Normally I'm always the first person to say 'buy now' because of rising prices and hence decreasing returns across the nation, but with that amount of money I'd say sit tight.
