When I encourage people to bike for this reason I point to a recent example of how this proved powerful to me:I had a friend that just didn't understand why I bought a property in the neighborhood that I bought in.  

I was just wondering if it is common that people get their neighbors to vote to change rules, or does the HOA just have absolute power in these situations no matter how the tenants feel?

I drive between sunrise and power inn (locally) every day for work and I can't tell you how many MHPs I have discovered because I got interested in the niche.

Your mind is powerful because you are obviously very intelligent, but with a powerful mind such as yours you, if you try hard enough, can convince yourself of anything - even of paying more than you know you should.

So, my only risk here is loss of principal purchasing power due to inflation.Correct?

I guess what I would like to know is...what's the best way to tackle this and maximize borrowing power.

With that little gold mine, you are a step closer to finacial freedome.

This stems off a question I asked the other day and got some great answers.I'm wondering what the (LA County) costs and process might look like for all of the permitting, creating a new street address, new water, new waste, new power lines, and having a driveway carved into the curb.When doing these things with the City/County - Do they take many months to make happen?

It's not our usual practice, but we have done this a couple of times with vendors - both times we put up a large ernest money and made a portion of it non-refundable - but these were exceptional circumstances.We have not done this with a power-of-sale or bank-owned property, nor would I have any expectation they would allow it to occur.

@Justin Trudellnot sure if I understanding your correctly, but if you continue to participate in your company 401k, unfortunately you will not be able to move it elsewhere, it will remain there...The excess of contributions you can direct into SD IRA and with those funds you will have the freedom to invest as you wish.
