Sandpoint was never ground zero, that was in Hayden. The description of hippies and forestry workers who all got along was pretty accurate even a few years ago. And the town was purple leaning blue, maybe even still is, since the county is providing ample evidence of what one-party homogeneous government does wrong. Ironically, right-wing transplants from left-wing locales should be familiar with this, but it's not virtuous to admit your team isn't perfect these days.

The last couple episodes of Bundyville dive into the Christian Identity movement and associated politics in that neck of the woods which is sort of the afterbirth of the neo-Nazis. Stevens County, WA though, so not SP proper.

I have a Hawaiian buddy who lives in Rathdrum and rides Schweitzer; he's never mentioned having issues, but he has the real aloha spirit, it's hard for me to imagine anyone giving him a hard time. I've never really noticed anything on my Schweitzer trips, but maybe the skinheads like to wait for warm weather to show off their white power tats.

So leveraging to buy a second property... to avoid the complexities of getting mortgage on a new property and the issues that comes when being a loan bidder in a mostly cash market...
Is it smarter to HELOC to a high LTV, pull that funding out plus savings to cash buy a second property and then take a loan on the second property to pay the HELOC?Originally Posted by blurred

Well, most of them Were a few to many miles out of town. Because that was the attraction. Newbies are coming for the suburban red-state experience and testing their Putin-fluffing yard signs in 4 months of winter. They'd be happier in CdA, but then they'd have to use a less virtuous realtor.

Not sure why Bonner's Ferry and Boundary County (home of Ruby Ridge) in general are flying under the radar here. Of all the places I have spent time in North Idaho, that is the only place that legit gave me the heebie jeebies. Of course, we were driving around in the backwoods looking at remote whitewater, but still. Yikes.

Oh, there's nutters for sure. Just severity and rank of nutter is lower the closer to town you are.
Yellow nutters might for instance have 100,000 rounds of ammunition and pre-rigged booby traps, whereas a blue nutter might have 5000 rounds of ammo and a well equipped pantry.

Truth. During my stint in Creston, worked in the woods just above the line in Boundary, the upper Priest and Mission waterways. Nutters would have caches just across the line, there were trails and old roads all over the place. Even the US border guards got lost in there, they once held me and a coworker up for illegal entry. Took them to just our side of the line to a monument to prove they were the ones illegal. Coworker came across a bugout camp near boundary lk in the spring the first year I was there. Some guy was running from someone, but not far enough. His corpse had several bullet holes in it. Not a pleasant find.
We’d go drink down at the Good Grief when we were feeling the need for adventure. Locals would toss leftovers from dinner off the porch, then pull their sidearms and target practice when the pack rats would come out from under the building for the grub.
Interesting place. Sandpoint was very civilized in comparison.

Yes. That is a good move, but you need to make sure your exit strategy (the refi) is locked in before you execute.
I read about a new loan product that lets you immediately refi out of a cash purchase instead of having to wait the traditional 6 month seasoning period. This might be worth looking into, but be careful of rates or fees higher than a traditional loan. The HELOC I just closed on is a 3.25%, at that rate waiting 6 months to season isn't a deal breaker at all, but your situation may differ.
Back to the exit strategy, the HELOC shouldn't greatly impact your DTI, but make sure to have a conversation with a couple bankers before offering so you don't get stuck with your HELOC and savings money tied up in a property you can't refi out of because of some technicality only a banker can dream up.The whole human race is de evolving; it is due to birth control, smart people use birth control, and stupid people keep pooping out more stupid babies.

Okay, I'll admit, I am also a nutter.

No. Why would you take out imaginary equity in your home and leverage yourself to buy another over priced house sounds stupid to me but my money guy ran me through the numbers and told me to do it and it sounded even fucking stupider I think ll jerk off and pretend instead of digging a hole for myself like everyone else
