With my home pretty much breaking even (as reflected in my taxes), I suspect it will neither help or hurt significantly.

I am using external flash with small softbox or reflect it from walls or ceiling.

The following is a quote I reflect on often when using other peoples money.

Thus it is not easy to: A) Find a large number of deals in which you can invest, B) Compare investment criteria among deals such as risk/return, fees, splits, projected returns, C) Find investment track records for syndicators, the key person that has the most control over your investment.That leaves you in a position where you have a few options: 1) trust the opaque due diligence process of a crowdfunding site and invest there in a (rare) equity offering 2) Do your research to find a reputable syndicator that works in your preferred property type and in the areas you want to invest, look at their documents and ask to talk with their prior investors so you are comfortable putting them in charge of your money, or 3) invest in public securities,  they are liquid and they take no particular effort, bit your returns will reflect that. 

Here's how I do it, however I guess it depends on what socioeconomic group you are dealing with - however when I advertise rent/vacancy == when I am going over the lease/at a showing I inform the applicant the advertised rent reflects an online payment discount.  

Taking 30+ days off to go to europe and visit 20 cities in 8 different countriesAs I sit here typing this, reflecting on my life 3 year + 1 day ago.... it is literally unrecognizable.  

If a seller leaves money on the table a assessment should reflect that fact.

Anyways, back on topic - the rest I can detail in another post when I have time to reflect as I owe a lot of what has happened to biggerpockets.So to the reason for this post - the executive director of this facility is nothing short of amazing,  After a rough first 3 days due to the shock of the sale she kicked it into high gear and is really the key to how this place runs and runs well. 

Waiting to how the other districts will reflect on this.

An appraisal is done that reflects the value the day of the sale.
