I am putting money in gold/silver (I'm not a gold bug, I don't think it's always good to buy, and it's certainly not a way to get rich, just a way to hedge against economic downturns, as it tends to go up when other markest go down), and rentals, as people still rent during down economies (though you have to account for increased evictions).

I used to live in the Chicago area, and there is a company that made the WORST commercials ever - Eagle Insurance.

I hear NOVA is a little crazy but would NE/SE DC or Silver Spring / PG County be an ideal location?

Hello BP Community,Does anyone have any contractors that they recommend for Eagle County?

That must be a terrible feeling, but sometimes there is a "silver lining.."

Just for reference, the property is on the corner of 5th St and Silver.

I was really looking for a house in Silver Lake or Echo Park, as we work in the Fashion District, so that will minimize drive time.I was really trying to buy our first house and look at it as an investment.

Eagle's Landing is where I live now and seems to be the nicer area.

Again, local brokerages are the silver lining in my search so far.
