Tim, I'm 100% with you on Alabama (or Indiana, or Pennsylvania etc) if you're looking for good, affordable cash flowing property, those are the places to look into and if you remember the never-ending debate of appreciation vs. cash flow, I always leaned in the direction of cash flow. but to be honest, the best is to strike a balance and I think Rich would agree, that if you can combine both (Middle class 3/2 in desirable area with good school and plenty of employment), it is the way to go.Rich, I agree with the fundamental rule (Which is by the way Warren Buffet's rule of the stock market as well) When everybody tries to get out - get in and vise versa.Yes, California is capricious when it come to real estate (and celebrities) but the fundamentals always come back.

I'm celebrating the close of apts.

There were 2 weeks of vacation in there for Christmas, an anniversary week of vacation, etc.

Just saw the video posted by @Brandon Turner about the new subforums and thought I'd kick things off here with something fun.So, my question: Have you ever done something fun or special to celebrate a closing? 

A recent win or something you're proud of we can celebrate together?
