I'm based more in blue-collar areas where the folks that sell their homes need the lump sum from settlement in order to move on & survive.2. 

@Kaylee WalterbachAfter a long year of sweat, tears, many long talks with God/The Universe/Blue Bell Ice Cream, I got my property appraised and was able to cancel my PMI.

We brightened it up with fresh blues and clean whites.

Y'all are going to benefit a ton from the Blue Oval plant.

The blue line shows the median $/SF without correcting for inflation.

Blue SKy for nothing everything is great to me until it is not.. :)Account Closed  and Minh probably knows this one.. our core group of foreclosure buyers here in PDX we were pretty tight knit even though we competed.. and if a guy was short on something he really had IE he had checks for something that did not go.. but needed funds for another it was nothing for us to hand over 100 to 300k cashiers checks to let them buy it then meet them at their bank and get repaid... and maybe they buy me a beer for doing that. 

Amex Blue Business Preferred is 2 MR points per dollar spent on everything, and Amex MR points are among the most valuable out there for redemption, so you're really getting 3-4% back on every purchase.I was using that but recently switched to a cash back debit card so the money leaves my bank account more in line with the time I spend it, rather than a month later, which makes bookkeeping much easier.
