My only experience with this was a diagonal property line across a half mile of farm property.

Without a fractional system, and its inherent velocity of money, we might very well be on economic parity and quality of life with a modern day Phillipines. 

Key points we heard from Senator Gardner are:· This bill is about ‘Parity”· He is looking for fairness and equity from an assessor point of view· There is no house sponsor· This was not to increase tax revenue· He does not want any assessment plans to drive land use.

On a couple of houses that I've had there were (IIRC) 4" X 12 with 1" X 6" laid diagonally over those.On one of those I had bad 1" X 6" but everything above those was good because we had replaced them a few years before when we replaced a leaking shower pan.

Dollar for US dollar I'll bet the long term value and upside of OR Coast investment compared to other Pacific Northwest markets is at least on parity, assuming you can break into the market.Anyone else having difficulty finding deals for clients or themselves? 

This is a PARITY issue, and if you're not in that situation, I won't take the time here to address it.

Keep going you beautiful thing:)When we were buying in Atlanta the Australian $ was on parity with the US$, however now that the Australian $ has fallen, its become a currency play and therefore we make approximately 40% on our money when we bring it back home.I set up 3 LLCs and have up structures to minimise tax etc and have a good US Accountant who liaises with my Australian accountant.

To me I think the big square looking island with the diagonal corner cabinet makes the most sense.

Your already seeing A class high rents suffer as those renters are now my clients buying new construction or used homes.. when rent and mortgage gets on parity.. and in this market which is not FICO challenged .. 

Now at parity, can I outpace the typical 7-8% ROI I'd get from the market for the next 20 years by investing in real estate?
