Does it include water and garbage?

When values have reached a level as low as you're describing, it will likely continue in that direction (down) until an investor buys most or all the condos and repositions the property.Sorry for the cold water on this deal.  

In ten years we pumped through thousands of loans and held a balance of just over 2,000 in portfolio, larger than some small banks.   

Sure, there are days when it takes a few Red Bulls and caffeine pills to pump you up and reinvigorate the acid in your veins.. but the end result is worth it every time. 

My house is literally only a couple of miles from the water, but it's actually not in a flood zone (350/yr premium flood figured in the 1900).

Are the water lines galvanized? 

I need some advice on contractor/investor partnerships and property LLC information as I am starting a few endeavors that are leading me into uncharted waters.

I have seen some fascinating Eco friendly houses here in Australia and have considered such a business for the Colorado market, but some of the neatest rain water collection systems would be challenging in a cold climate.

I will generally pay 200-500 to have a heat pump replaced but I'm sure most people pay a lot more.
