Might be the vicoden talking , I just had surgery this morning,

I'll take a hundred of those also.

that's my gripe. i don't know if i'm ever going to be able to afford a house at this rate, much less one that i'd want to own!(i'd rather live in an apartment the rest of my life than one of those cookie cutter houses in a tract that's 3' from the neighbors on all sides).

Hankster please, I am an adult now I am taking those pills to eliminate pain... As far as real estate goes as far as I am concerned it is the same everywhere. Some places values rise faster and drop faster. Some places the opposite is true. The fundamental principals are the same, supply and demand and location, location, location.The only way I have been able to do it is buy fixer uppers. I may have mentioned in a drug induced state. The house I bought in the great state of Washington was in a remote spot ( well Kinda) had sat on the market for over a year, I cant remember if it was 2 years. No body wanted it, So I took it. The view is unrivaled of the Mutiny Bay and hurricane ridge. Contrary to Addicted's style I worked my butt off on that place all my weekends that were available. The first 4 years were as a rule spent working on the place. My point is simple the population of the west coast is going to explode... prepare yourself. If I could afford to right now I would be looking to purchase investment property. The people are going to come if the predictions are accurate so brace yourself.

Going to come? Damn man, they are already here! People just keep popping up all over, and it ain't the local birth rate. Immigrants, and not just from CA.

If I had the money, I would buy real estate, starting with the dump next door that shares the same Mt. Rainier view.

And not just from the US. Lot's of Russian speaking people around these days. Maybe Obama hired the KGB to grab guns?

Doubtful... since most of them lived through it before, they are more likely the ones stockpiling before america goes completely socialist

Maybe we ARE in Russia.... eh comrade?

Mikespike one of these days we need to talk doors.... bidding lots of work
