In the Denver area it was almost an entirely cash market--we once received payment of nearly $50k, in one hundred dollar bills, in recycled baby wipe tubs.

Started with Baby Steps and backslid here and there.  

I'm looking to use a "white" paint (or any off-white), that is:-most durable-easiest to clean-readily available-easy to do touch-ups withI had read that a "semi-gloss" would be good since it can be wiped down and cleaned easily, but I wanted to get everybody's opinion.

We just had a baby back in October and are not keen on the idea of moving right now, plus our mortgage is crazy cheap so we don't really want to lose that right now either.

This is not to say an experienced sponsor has bad deals, they will, but an investor typically will not only get 100% wiped out but if the company also took bonus depreciation the LP's will also have to pay that money back to the IRS, so its a double whammy (not an accountant but one may be able to chime in more on this).If you are a LP and invested in a syndication that has bridge debt, I strongly recommend you watch it very closely.

But if I could wipe out all of the capital gain it might make sense.

Plumber goes out and says its stuffed with wipes, tampons, plastic bottles, condoms, toys.... you get the idea.

Properties with significant equity and have a mortgage on it the mortgage company typically pays it so they do not get wiped out.

People need to learn how to wipe their feet...... :-)
