It can be a dangerous model because it's your money on the line, so it's imperative you know who you are working with and their track record.

The odds of firearm involvement is small and the odds that a firearms would present a danger is miniscule.The idea that the mere presence of a firearm somehow increases your risk is completely unfounded which is why many of us find your question unreasonable.

There’s a distinct difference.

The most dangerous part of asbestos is the dust you create while removing it. covering is safer and acceptable in my area. its actually excellent siding it does not rot and holds paint really well.Its usually illegal to remove on your own and very expensive to hire a company to remove .Going over it does not create a health hazard since you are not creating any asbestos dust.

Some mold is very dangerous and a lot of it isn’t, as there is literally mold in the air we all breathe every day.

One here in Oakland, another in Los Angeles.We of course cannot predict the future, but in the above case I just "assumed" that rates don't move one iota between now and a month or two from now.Getting the HELOC first, or getting the HELOC concurrently, priced out with the 1st position 30YF being 0.375% higher (holding constant all fees etc) compared to getting the refinance done first, and then getting the HELOC as a distinct separate transaction.

Should the revitalization stall out and the area become so dangerous guests won’t come to an event there.King of reminds me back 25 years ago when these empty industrial spaces were being rented by the night for raves.

Of course I know just enough to be dangerous at this point.
