* ethically I also think this is an interesting discussion point to even do this, but I’m OK with scenarios like the grass hasn’t grown in yet and I want a nice picture before it does, or it was a cloudy day and I want to represent a sunny day etc..

Currently researching here the best strategy to soften the blow of Capital Gains on the sale- your inputs greatly appreciated (MFJ Tax Rate: Fed 22% CA 9.3%).Questions:1.)

I'm in Baltimore market at it's a seller's market (slowing up a bit) but it's stable since the fed govt has big employer base here.

Fence is the neighbor's so nothing you can do there except planting bigger bushes or maiden grass to help cover it but it's not necessary.

If properties were cheap and you thought there was going to be good appreciation in the near term it might make sense... but with the Fed's interest rates, they are working to drive housing prices back down... with little success from what I can see so far.  

Friday's employment, or should I say unemployment and jobs growth outlook coupled with the FED's inevitbale interest rate hike looming, problems with China's economy, the EU, South America and elsewhere including the USA is worrisome at best.Lot's of major players are moving into cash as well and that should be a very good sign that it might be time to play it safe, stay in cash and get ready for the next feeding frenzy and there will be one I strongly believe. 

Well for the past year we have been getting violations from the city for the borrower not cutting the grass and other violations.

I personally think right now is the good time to grab deals before the feds cut rates in 2024/2025 as economist are predicting.

We finally got fed up and went to my other bank and they said they could get it done on time.
