Complex has nice pool and recreation area.

The appraiser pulled comps from houses in the same hood that are older, not on the greenbelt like ours and not with a pool.

They garden in the front and back yards.

I was at a real estate seminar and a CPA said “talk with your attorney about difference between equity partners which are not regulated under SEC REG D rules, vs. pooling investor funds to raise funds, an activity which must qualify for one of the SEC Reg D exemptions...."

But if the govt really wanted to get serious about getting investors to help rebuild the rental pool, all they'd need to do is bump that limit from 10 to 20 and they'd get more activity on the existing inventory than they could want.Won't help new construction - which is the real job generator.....For that, I think they should bring back the tax credit.

I dealt with paper files, had a secretarial pool that typed all letters and memos, and there was no email.

You can plant trees and install water features in the back yard.

Though I do really miss having a house and a backyard (which seems to be a bit of an impossibility in Seattle proper... which certainly wasn't the case in C-U!).

He did a very high end flip including a swimming pool complete with fiberoptic lighting, Brazilian hardwood floors, Carrerra marble kitchen counters, above mount bathroom sinks, top of the line appliances, flat panel wall mounted TVs.

Man, I love it when given an opportunity to rip on a certain politician that rose through the ranks of "the machine" in my own backyard.
