Some RE professionals are recommending selling Ca. properties in anticipation of a market correction and investing in multiple properties in other states.  

I'm trying to decide from a Return on Time/Investment standpoint.Also, if I do multiple mailings, should each mailer be different (i.e. language, format)?

Most Menards employees know me by name and have been great to work with (at multiple locations).I use Home depot for 1 item - Allure flooring. 

Check multiple references for the contractor and don't skip over this.3.
