Wood quality began dropping on a serious scale in the 1980s due to old-growth timber being almost completely depleted.Most wood used today is grown very fast - not only can you visibly see the difference in quality, but the newer lumber is more prone to rotting due to a lack of heartwood.

I've considered dropping everything that I'm doing and starting fresh in a new job that will help me learn more.

It would only work if you add a lot of value.I also wouldn't wait for rates to drop.

Because I make really good money and if I dropped dead tomorrow I have life insurance as well as a SDIRA.If I do not, then I can use it also to invest.

Inflation has raised costs , labor is up , insurance is up , rates have dropped a bit , but are still higher , and now we have a dock workers strike . 

Indicators are showing that price drops in the MF sector may be near bottom, and activity is picking up in the coming year. 

@Kyle PascualFirst of all I would get out of stock and sit in cash for the short term the Fed as you know just drop rates by 1/2 of a percent last week over the last 30 years anytime that has happened the economy has been in a recession within 6 months and the stock market has had a massive correction.

They neglected to mention that SROs (single room occupancy, aka lodging house, aka rooming house) also means likely very high maintenance, necessitating supervision and hands-on management.The property had just dropped out of contract because the first buyers couldn’t get bank financing.

LOL Does he use the ole' drop off a litter of rats trick?

Rates are starting to drop fairly fast and for primary homes they are already down 1.25% from earlier this year.
