What difference does it make to anyone what Nick or James drove as vehicles??

If your looking for anything other than a home or vacation home you should probably look for a commercial agent (they are harder to find, most of them don't drive around with flashing neon signs and lifesize photographs of themselves on their vehicles like alot of residentials do) but if you look hard enough they are there.

Labor and material costs in geographic areas as well as other relate construction costs are compiled nationally much like the blue book for vehicles, that is what they look to.These valuation sites are too far off to make any buying or selling decision on, plus or minus, valuations go both ways.

Have some firms entered the market whose primary investment vehicle is not real estate?

Using loans is actually a gamble that nothing will go wrong and that there will be significant appreciation.Easy credit has prompted homebuilders to make ever larger and fancier houses, and carmakers to make larger and fancier vehicles.

You can do that if there is lots of demand.As to traffic tickets, there are people who earn their living driving a vehicle, and would lose that job if they had too bad of a traffic record or lost their license for too many tickets.

I just would never do that.. simply because I have other vehicles and ways to earn a living that that amount of leverage would make me FAR more than 100 a month.. or 10k a month with 4 or 5 million of exposure. 

(I don't count medical debt or student loan debt as long as it looks like they pay on time on credit cards, utilities, vehicles, rent, etc.)Hope this helps. 

Tenant Acknowledges they are responsible for providing insurance for their possessions or vehicles and owners insurance will not cover tenants possessions or vehicles.

It seems my neighborhood is definitely not a 'rental' neighborhood.Yes, I believe we could afford down payment on new house in Boise without selling here in Austin: significant cash stockpile plus my access to various sources of credit (insurance vehicles, 401k/IRA loans, HELOC, etc).Can we direct message more about 1031?
