Today, there are almost unlimited options in designing a self-storage facility that will blend into the area you plan to build.

I think a good blend between the two would be investing in an apartment deal syndication.

This way we can blend the rate and stress test the property modeling out returns to see if it still works.

Over time the blended cap and return will be higher with the lower cap rate to start.

I would recommend a blend -- get a 9-5 W2 job that gets you in "the game" (I.e.

It provides an interesting blend of benefits: life insurance to hedge against your death (only relevant if you have family), a cash value that you can borrow against (and is guaranteed never to go down, despite market downturns...so you can hop in during a down market with your own private funding mechanism!)

Before he seals it I would call him ASAP and get it blended better,, Yes stain will accept darker in areas but this clearly looks like it was lefton longer in areas or applied heavier in areas.. not blended in as well as it shouldDON'T delay.. you don't want it sealed and then you'll really have delays. 

In this setting you want to blend in to the surroundings. 

I built this home in a mostly homeowner community and it blends in with the existing homes.

I use a blended approach like many portfolio managers use with stocks and bonds.
