I actually see some merit in the idea of a permit before you can have a pet because too many people are simply too stupid to be responsible for themselves, let alone another living organism.

Some parts of this policy I’m okay with, but others just seem egregious and without merit. ** FULL DISCLOSURE: We don’t currently STR, however may want to occasionally in the future when we travel or for special events.Thanks in advance for your comments and advice !!

However, I did not start a thread here to argue the merits, pros vs cons of leveraged ETFs.

I think their is merit to what nathan was saying.

As for areas @Dan Burstain said it, almost every direction has some merit.  

I can see the merit in both sides...it's up to you and based on your situation.

Granted that's a pretty new feeling for me so this may sound absolutely ridiculous here... please bear with me.I've talked to some colleagues who are in that particular business (let's call in convenience store) and they said that there's probably some merit to looking into it.  

The way you asked the question makes me think that you are structuring as a limited partner in which an annual cash flow yield (set by you and your partner) will be merited with lower upside on equity if much at all unless you negotiate upside.

I like Jay's thought of putting myself in the shoes of the listing agent because we've all made mistakes like this but I also feel that listing the property as nearly 30% larger and then quietly revising the square footage back to the numbers noted on the property condition disclosures and county records merits a concession does it not? 

Consider each deal on its own merits and ignore the 'macro' factors that get talked about so often in the media.
