i found a great deal with cash flow but the neighborhood was rated high crime,,,it is close to the local college and 10 minutes from stores and the beach..is this a walk away????

Being a short drive to decent Asian grocery stores and restaurants (the ones with secret menus all in Chinese) is also a nice amenity, but being within walking distance to them is not critical, unless one of the family members does not know how to drive, which is quite often the case, especially since Chinese families often take care of their elderly forebearers, and the driver's test is pretty challenging for some of them again because of the language barrier.

My mentor told me the grocery store model is best:"You don't want to sell a seller in the grocery store and have to duck around a corner.

I'm very excited to what this site has in store for me.

One of the King Soopers (Kroger) stores here has a similar finish.  

We see prices being inflated at the grocery store and in just about every segment of the economy.

Looking good.Did you end up buying your cabinets from the RTA store?
