Like the rings on the inside of an old oak tree.

You pick up a bag a chips.

Not in general, but it was down so much it was a no brainer, I bought a lot of Simon Property Group, Store Capital, Realty Income, and Federal Realty Trust back in March and the beginning of April. 3 of them are The blue-chips of retail REITs. 

@Jay Hinrichs knows Oregon quite well and hopefully he chips in here...

I use the cheap Toffee Oak from Lowes.

Leave a trailof  some potato chips , chetos , and other munchies .

Would it be weird for a total stranger to be giving you chocolate chip cookies, while talking about why you're selling your house?

What I look for is stuff like garbage bag windows, boarded up windows and doors, over-filled mailboxs, unkept garden/flower bed, tall grass and exterior house paint chipping away.When I've approached some of these houses, many of the home owners were nice people, have no problems with their finances and not looking to sell whatsoever. 

I'm interested in connecting with investors who are actively buying vacant land in Waukesha, Kenosha, and the suburbs of Milwaukee County such as Oak Creek and Franklin for both residential and commercial development. 

Typical items that appear on the VA/FHA inspection are chipping paint, steps that do not have a hand rails and GFI outlets.
