There are mixed reviews on bamboo itself as the way made and qualities vary, parts the country where installed (humidity too low) is an issue, and the difference in the way it must be installed really matters.NC is certainly humid.

There are mixed part in san jose that offer some cheaper deals, but I am also looking at one area that looks like a good opportunity: East Palo Alto.Can you tell me why this area is so cheap compared to the neighboring palo alto.

Mix in the occasional call from neighbors and/or the police because of partying at 2 AM, and you have to ask yourself if $132/mo is worth the hassle.

@Will KsanderYou will hear mixed opinions about getting your license.

Elizabeth thanks for the link, guess I'll have to take a visit to HD this week for them to mix the Kona tint.

If she does not then I will walk away from the deal.The Yellow Duplex- In not as nice of a neighborhood, it is mixed between a couple eye sores and some other average, and above average properties.

@Alexaundra McCormick , I am guessing some terminology is getting mixed up.

Looking forward to mixing and sharing with the Bigger Pockets group!

Hmm..yes I see the point of low rates for 30 years, but hey I'd do it for 10 or 15 on a couple too, to "mix it up" and get a couple paid off earlier.

Maybe I can get a Forex type recipe that I can mix up and put in my Bissel steam cleaner.
