I'm planning on coming if this is still happening. Don't have a huge window, but I can sneak away for a couple of hours. I have to pack up and move out of my current place by Sunday.
IMO it depends on your market. I like Loopnet, but Costar is what you need to use here in Denver.
I have a Loopnet and Costar membership however.
I have had a few dedicated track cars, currently building a 1995 BMW 318ti. I did have a 95 rx-7 built for time attack, a 450hp Audi a4 1985 corolla gts for scca.
My current obsession is building vintage motorcycles into cafe racers. The ultimate goal is to get a Porsche GT3 cup car. Just have to keep working hard for the next few years

Yes. It is a monthly obligation and the bank will factor it in.
There is an exception if you are within 10 months of the end of the lease, they will not consider it.

I allow them. I was a renter not long ago and had a 90lb lab. I currently have a 100lb Chesapeake Bay Retriever and I cant even imagine how hard it would be to rent if I had him at the time.
I have never had issues with renting to a big dog, just make sure you get a fat deposit for damage. I could be that I have a soft spot for mans best friend, but I'm going to keep renting to big dogs.
I also should mention in Denver everyone has a big dog, you won't rent for as much or as quickly if you don't rent to dogs.

Just had to get a new roof put on a listing I sold this week due to the inspection. 2300 sf house, used the timberline shingles and total cost was 6850 not including the permit.
25K is crazy
You and everyone that I know that work for the big 4 only last about 4-6 years.
They expect you to quit after this time frame.
Now go get a job making twice as much for half the hours based on your experience.

Arizona State!!!!!!!
Most underrated team in the PAC 12 due to the uncertainty at coach/QB. I think all the USC and Oregon fans may be surprised when they play us this year.

Scott GI'm happy to help find you a place in the 100's, and I'm also open exploring whatever other ideas you guys might have going on.
I close on my new project in LoHi late next week and I'm happy to walk you guys through it and show you how I typically do my projects. I live right downtown, but I'm also happy to meet wherever, I'm all over the metro area at any given time.
