However, the intrinsic Global manipulation of precious metal market(s) leaves me skeptical of any sustained rise above $50/oz in my life-time. 

Because precious few people who want those toys and lifestyle ever make real money in real estate.

I'm thinking the vacancy rate has went up because precious metals have been low in price for years now.

I did take the realtor to Court and was able to have them take back the house, but I lost a lot of money and time, which is precious.  

For example designer fashions, nice jewelry/watches, etc.

Time is precious, especially as we head into the sales season.

If for example you would like to learn about how to buy gold / silver and other precious metals for investment means, well it sounds as if you should attend Radio guys Con. 

She left multiple flat screen TVs, four laptop computers, all of her clothes, all of her photos, jewelry, and even some brand new rifles!

I'm now in a decent financial position to look deeper into OOS rental investments and making the most of all this precious free time.
