For example, if the basement floods when it is raining and it has been dry, they would probably miss that. 

I bought a course from realestateexpress to acquire a real-estate license In Kentucky but I find it’s rather dry and hard to digest.

You could blow $10k on one roof or plumbing problem. 

Then again, another person's might be the thing that blows open the doors on your business.That's my last thought: 3) Run this like a business, because it is. 

Plywood's greatest value is that, in the event of water leakage, it can be usually dried out without significant damage and does not tend to swell up and fall apart in the same way that particle board and MDF do.

There's a reason for that saying about keeping your powder dry; you have to have capital to pull the trigger.

Now 2 of the big dangers here are: 1) what happens when the in-flow of out-of-state money dries up (I posted somewhere else talking about all this) which also leads to 2) this has always been a very low wage state, and many people were already struggling with rent prices as-is before the influx of people; in other words, I don’t think long-term rent prices can be supported here.Another thing to think about is your quality of life.

Part of me wants to wait for it to blow over, but the other half of me knows I must start somewhere, or I’ll never make any forward progress.

Personally I’m sitting on the sidelines, keeping my powder dry.

Lumber is appalling right now and I live in a big logging area and I've been surprised there aren't trucks running everywhere around me right now with prices the way they are. what prompted the call to my old partner was B/C as I was driving out to my project yesterday two log trucks weny by me on the opposite side of the road so I got a good look at the logs  All were burnt  so it was salvage timber I remember when Katrina hit there was over 10 million  board feet of Blow down in the south .. so prices were weak as they moved that timber to the mills but  finished product did not rise like we have seen.Just seems to be  good ole Gouging and price fixing..
