The head of the county housing authority called me and asked me to lower the proposed increase.I said that the rent is still considerably less than your maximum section 8 allowance and the fact that the former owner didn't charge enough rent was irrelevent.

I know when I was looking at it years ago, the market had really been beat up and prices were subdued considerably.

I doubt too many people will notice this, but next time, on the 30" height wall cabinets install the knobs on the bottom corner, not the middle.

There shouldn't be any traffic that time of day (something I took into consideration).

Cities like Lansing, Grand Rapids, Plymouth, Ann Arbor, Sterling Heights and Kzoo are much more stable and worthy of looking in to.

I have often spent a lot of time trying to find posts that I started...this narrows things down considerably.

Are Wall Street investments worthy of consideration based on what you have read in this post?

Thanks Jon. i didn't make it clear that the asking price was not even under consideration.

One consideration is how hard is it to get a starting position at a bank versus finding a leader in the field you are really interested in to not only mentor you but pay you to learn from him.

One big consideration was the use of MLS and keysafes and the other phones were not really REALTOR friendly.
