Hi Will,I just read your messgae about the property investing.My background is in Arch as well and I'm looking at the real estate investing.Have you had any more dealings of this nature or are you looking further into it?

And that California law requires that you disclose a death from natural causes to each and every tenant that applies?

The bottom line is that economics are driven by human nature and behavior, which as we all know works the same in any part of the world and in any era, which is why history has that nasty habit of repeating itself over and over.Just last night JP Morgan agreed to buy Bear Stearns (up until Friday the 5th largest investment bank) for $2 a share!!!

Other things to consider or look for in this or other deals of this nature: Upside potentials 1.can you increase rents/decrease expenses 2.

Natural setting" - Deer will eat your landscaping."

Taxes, natural gas, electricity, or water?

This way we're both able to communicate in a way that's more natural for us.

I manage 2 companies already, so the paperwork, etc. comes pretty naturally to me, so I wouldn't necessarily need someone for that, -- and I have a great "maintenance" team in place, so the mgmt. really is only collecting the rent, OR relaying a maintenance or repair need.

Jeff and Norm,The wholesale nature of the deal means there is some profit for you and more profit for the end purchaser.

It is not political in nature, more an athletic thread.
