By contrast, secondary markets and deals with a restrained mark-to-market opportunity can see pricing in the 5% to 6% band, as investors in these markets are less willing to apply negative leverage beyond the first couple of years.

Decide what you value, then compare and contrast companies. 

I'm taking the opinion that as our market continues to be successful and grow, I want to give back to the investment so that if there is a correction, applicants are more drawn to my property in contrast to competitors.

The black couch was probably a big expense and you can work with that if you need to, but bring in some softer colors and some neutrals and let the black be the major point of contrast.

Especially since we are viewed as a liberal leaning social justice state ( for better or worse ), it is exactly the opposite of what they are running away from with China.Right now Trump's administration has set refugee / asylum cap at 15k / yr ( by contrast it was 85k / yr in 2016 ).With Biden in office, should we expect the asylum cap dam to burst and a significant influx of HK money driving up the market again ?

In contrast to the 203k which requires 3.5% down but does have some restrictions. 

By contrast I’ve started looking at places where I live and on a few occasions I’ve slipped into right brain mode, wanting to buy a place because I liked the place.

(And by contrast, the suburbs can boast some of the best school systems in the country.)If investors want to come to a place like Milwaukee and give it a go, fine.

Etc.The use of money, in contrast, controls whether it is deductible as an expense.

Maybe they're content, maybe they're numb to their surroundings, maybe they do not know any better as they have never experienced the contrast of living in better areas of town...
