Mostly having no knowledge of market/geography/socio-economic factors related to desirable neighborhoods within her price range. There was also a short time range in which she had to nail down purchase due to tax laws related to real estate investment exchanges. This was the best option given the steaming pile of dung the Anchorage market had at the time.
Not to say the selection is any better now. Boom bust cycles around here have lots of inventory sitting in foreclosures, so, like with our cars, the things languish and decay before the banks get done with paperwork so the real estate can be put back on the market in a boom swing.

Reminds me of a Russian oligarch Dacha or large chapel in the woods. clay I have no pronouns please do not refer to me. > On Apr 22, 2020, at 1:07 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > On 22/04/2020 3:56 PM, Clay via Mercedes wrote: >> The cargo stuff is jumping.
