I get comparable sales reports for about $3 a piece that way.Also bear something else in mind, while MLS is great tool when researching market data, it has two major drawbacks.

The city says its not an arms length transaction, but a distressed sale and the price paid then has no bearing on the fair market value with the city.

Not that I care but I find it strange that you are with Lifestyles but seem excited about Brad's program.Whether the training was $1k or $50 that has no bearing on what he can or can not offer. 

The next morning around 5AM I got a call from the AC company and they told me the lady of the house was begging for them to get out there because it's too hot  and her husband was doing chemo at home and couldn't bear the heat.

If you let the real estate bear some of the burden and leave her a greater percentage of her income for personal spending, vacations, toys, etc I'm sure she will be much less against being the only w-2 earner. 

The guidance is:When providing a reference, you can answer only one question: “is xxx subject to rehire.”When providing a reference for a rental, you can answer only one question: “would you rent to xxx again.”So, if someone calls you for a reference, regardless of the questions asked, your reply should be, “are you asking me if I would rent to them again?”

Office and commercial space has caused investors to lose serious money during protracted down turns; people however will always need a safe place to live.I too have money in mutual funds-like Vanguard and Fisher; but by the time you pay management fees they really don't offer the kinds of returns available in MF, and they will suffer during bear markets.So if you are thinking there may be a contraction, and we always should be prepared, don't get too leveraged and keep enough cash accessible to get you through tougher times.

Don't be lumping all PM's into the same boat because the statistics don't bear that out. 

If you will be out bear Katy, we have an informal meetup coming up.

I’d guess Big Bear would do a bit better.
