“We came up with a list of uses everybody would like to see and then a nice common, exterior aesthetic theme to make sure everything is in harmony and will blend well.”Olson believes the residential component of Northglenn will make for a walkable community that will appeal to a lot of people.

This levels out the risk by blending homes left in pristine condition with ones that are a complete wreck.

I would paint the gas pipe in the front white where the background is white to blend it in.

My wife and I are implementing a buy and hold strategy, however, we have considered a 1039 exchange within the next 4-5 years for an apartment building or a large multifamily property which is why I concern myself with the potential value impact of tearing out the asphalt.My thoughts are that since the southern driveway which is in terrible condition, opens up to a dirt road, and the other houses on that dirt road have gravel driveways, that I could rip out the asphalt on that side of the house, replace with gravel, and it would blend in with the houses behind me.Does that sound logical or would it still be of concern to add gravel when the rest of the neighborhood (excluding the houses behind me) retains asphalt.

If tenant has $52000 then they can look at what is the real blended rate of your first and a second starting prime+2 which maximum cap is 22%. 

So that leaves you with private money 2nd, but then you're probably at 12%+ which makes the blended rate high enough that a cash out refi is probably a better option. 

Single metric data points without historic context are meaningless.Having an opinion what might happen beyond the next couple months is very difficult and a multidimensional problem - I know because I provide a market update for Milwaukee every month and that always becomes a mix of national and local economic and housing data - it's mostly paid research I subscribe to and I blend it with local MLS data and what I see every day in the field.And still, it's hard to tell for sure beyond the next 4-8 weeks - at the moment I am getting conflicting data about rates: looks like the Fed will hike some more, but we also know that mortgage rates usually fall during recessions.

Me personally, I am blending flips and STR holds, as I want to have cash to play with, about 6 months after the crash is official.

Not a proprietary blend...
