Whereas most of the inventory is standard 70 x 100 lots at 90k I have one project that will go online in about three weeks where the lots will sell from 175k to 250k and include a full fiber optic system and 100 mile western views.

throw on some white corn and roasted peppers..

Warren famously said he bought up as much Coca-Cola as he could because he realized that if they raised prices a single penny across the board, it would mean millions in additional profits - also because he predicts people will continue to drink Coke for a long time to come.So no, I don't invest in the stock market, but one type of company I might invest in today (or a couple months from now - lol) would be a company that produces fiber optic cable.

The thing I noticed was that the city regulations on rental property / landlords seemed to be more in tune with a big metropolis than a town in the middle of corn fields - in other words, more extensive than you would expect. 

Any dirt and grit is simply pushed down into the carpet and ends up cutting the fibers over time.

If insulation grants are available, you may find it cheaper to tear off the siding, insulate and re-side with something from vinyl siding to shakes or fiber-cement boards.

Understand this is your tenant base Best advise I know for screening is You got to pick through the $)$t to get to the corn !

Not in Detroit, not in Kansas, not in Wrangler pants wearing, 30 year old truck driving, corn eatin', the-biggest-building-in town-is-a-silo middle America, but right here in sunny, rapidly appreciating southern California.

If not, question how one can improve on them, without changing "the fiber of the deal"?

Not every issue is about legal, or not legal... in fact the issues that shape our character, that fiber people stand on and say- he / she is that 'kind' or 'type' of person... they have nothing to do with laws- they have everything to do with where we operate inside of the laws.
