If the fed does raise rates this year as anticipated we should all get better returns on our savings accounts, yet (i believe)  vast amounts of money will flee the stock markets in search of safer havens which actually pay some kind of yield.So for now, sadly my liquid assets are staying in a money market account until I can find a good real estate deal that will give some cash on cash return which right now is also very hard to find in Southern California. 

The grass is not always greener.

Their pictures clearly showed 2ft of grass.

On the solar hot water setup, I have elected to do the following:  the rooftop unit, (4'x10' panel) will be fed from the water main, and will then go to supply electric heaters on the ground in the building. 

IE I don't have to fed ex the original deed back they can record with a scan..

If you want the lowest interest rates before the Fed raisesboost your credit score to 720+ and lock in a fixed HELOC!

But an extra $25 a month rent and $200-300 pet fee isn’t anything when compared to new carpet/flooring, kilz to get rid of urine smell, new grass and landscaping, complaints about dogs, etc.

If you get fed up with the unending maintenance request, guess what you can do? 

Read the fed's letter and let me know if you feel the issue was clarified.

IE Fed Ex moved in.. along with mile after mile of wharehouse and logistic's operations.. literally a 3 to 6 hour truck to 2/3 of the population in the US... logistics is a little tougher out our way with massive size states and distances between Metro areas.you have Seattle and Portlandia 2.3 hour drive but then its 10 hours to SF  SF to LA basin 5 to 7 hours and of course LA to San Diego is only 2.1 hours.
