Now, my hubby and I have planted our roots in the heart of Indianapolis – because, you know, the Midwest is where the real party's at!

This property has in the past been pasture for grazing, and we built a rental on one of the lots, in addition to planting trees and running irrigation. 

The City of Austin has a rebate up to $1750 for replacing turf grass with native plants/gravel.

Step 2, fake it till you make it, emphasis on fake it.

@Wesley Sherow a very real concern that is not mentioned is the scope and eventual cost of the total rehab.One of the most challenging projects I ever did was a rehab that converted a 100-year old five story concert building on Seattle’s waterfront to a storage facility.It was built and served as an ice plant that produced blocks of ice that was loaded in ships holds to transport food stuff to other parts of the world.This project and any major rehab of an OLD building carries much greater risk than one designed from scratch.In essence, the entire building is a “hidden condition”, which gives the general and its subcontractors a very wide lane to discover and charge for many change orders to cover the surprises they find along the way.You would be wise to use higher estimates for known costs and add generous contingencies for the unknown ones you are apt to run into.

Ross was a good source for fake plants. 

Once again, criminals will be hesitant to make a move on anything that requires them to sign anything (even if they plan on using a fake name).Tell Clients to Hide ValuablesFar too many sellers agents forget to impress this safety tip on their clients: lock away your valuables if you’re hosting an open house.

@Scott Mac Great recommendations I have read many of Robert Kiyosaki's books have you read his latest book FAKE?

So many people buy in to the "fake it 'till you make it" BS culture.

The Rock Springs Green River area has had the normal cycles following the price of oil, but add the coal mines, the power plants, the trona mines and the cycles get really weird and hard to predict.
