Century plants look like giant artichokes with spikes on the ends of their leaves.

Any sort of fine or spike in payments as penalty for leaving early?

I forget what BP member did an analysis of prices and days on market in the energy corridor recently in Houston, and days on market spiked dramatically and prices were down.

They all look like bargains in hindsight now that rents have spiked.

But on the commodities trading part, based on technical analysis, we are quite close to the bottom of crude price, maybe one more spike down to complete the whole downturn (maybe ~$22 to 23 range).

The cost of materials has spiked, and availability of materials has declined.

@Razi Salman Well, you could put that 100k down on a commercial multifamily and capitalize on the spike in demand for rentals. 

But, that's going to be incorrect as the 2016 population already reached 8.55 Million.Anyway, the point is that it isn't surprising to me that Class A properties had a spike in Vacancy compared to the other Class properties, mainly because the supply of Class A properties were being completed all at once.You'll probably see a leveling out of the plot line within a few years as the number of Class A projects level out again.Of course this is just my opinion!

Typically this means on the first of the month your bank balance spikes to 5k, and over the course of the next 30 days you spend and pay bills as they come due and your bank balance slowly drops with each bill that you pay until the end of the month where your balance is close to 0. 

As communities change, demographics shift, new industries emerge or existing industries see growth the demand for housing spikes.
