I may not be able to supply as well of real estate advice as some of the others, but speaking of food, also hit up Q39! 

From both a weather and life-style point of view (arts, music, theatre, food, outdoor activities...all better in Austin, IMHO). 

@Brant Richardson@Dave FosterGood points and food for thought.

Food drives is another big one, especially around the holidays. 

I will try to be as brief as possible.Net Yearly income = $108KMonth rent = $2,700 ($32,400) and my rent goes up no less than $80/yearDebt = $0 (thank you, Dave Ramsey) – Finally got out of debt in March2 leased cars = $237 + $450 = $687/monthSaving per month = Minimum $3,000/monthLiving and all other monthly expenses (food, gym, kids (3), car insurance, utilities, etc.) = $2,200/month (working on bringing that down)Cash on hand for Down Payment as of this post = $30KI currently live in Irvine, CA and for those who don’t know, it’s an EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE place to live.

You would want a food grade safe paint or epoxy and this is were it gets pricy.

that's the best route.. also cost of living is only cheaper basically in one area cost of real estate.. food is food insurance is insurance taxs are taxs and taxs in Cleveland are probably higher than Denver.. and in the high end of Cleveland real estate the tax's you pay for a home may mitigate the idea of its cheaperAnyway good luck with the move.. and oh nice gamble in Denver you know appreciation is gambling on this site but someone has to get it  LOL

I hope that gives you some food for thoughts.

Stick to it and keep pressing forward.FWIW, I took my account manager smoked ribs...food bribes are legal!

You may find that your personal letter yields a better response rate than you postcard, or whatever you're using.There is a lot more to this art of mailing, but hopefully this is some good food for thought.- Troy
