As of right now I work as a Human Resources intern at a manufacturing company.

But I do have tenants that work very odd schedules (I'm in a town with a couple Auto Manufactures) So tenants are not always home and I have to meet my guys there to unlock.

I am a commercial real estate lender and I focus on CMBS originations. 10 year term fixed rate non recourse deals with 25-30 year amort  is what I lend on for multifamily, industrial, hotels, retail, self storage, manufactured housing, office, etc.

I am not familiar with how long these stores take to manufacture kitchen cabinets and countertops, so you may want to ask. 

It's going to be kicked back to first party coverage or to the liability of the manufacturer.

I went out with another kid my age and we commented on how nice the new condos were to a neighbor, He mentioned the price, which seemed insanely high to use for a condo, and he looked at us and said "Boys, you can't manufacture the water."

Sure Boeing moved their headquarters to Chicago, but all the suppliers and manufacturers are still in the Seattle/Everett area.You can do a quick search on Google for Aerospace or Aviation associations in Washington state.

Rockford is in the top 3 cities for most foreclosures in the country (flint & Detroit are in there too); manufacturing town so lost lots of jobs when things went south.IMO it's a great opportunity but too far away for my taste.

Dennis check out Uponor, one of the best PEX manufactures.

If you're looking to flip a property, then you should reconsider since the manufacturing-centric economy is struggling right now.You can't beat paying $24,000 for a 3/1 home which would rent for $650 a month.
