When their students (or their readers) succeed, Tony and Napoleon get all the credit; when their students fail, those students assume that it's because they didn't believe enough in themselves or they didn't affirm their greatness in front of the mirror enough times.

Certain neighborhoods / areas offer investment opportunities that provide more consistent cash flows while others do not and the associated required rate of return should reflect this - hence affecting value.I agree that appraisals should be "color blind" but not blind to income/renter demographics; appraisals need to update their approach and stop relying so heavily on the "rear view mirror" (previous sales). 

A lot of you STR people are pretty good at decorating.My interior decorator skills are pretty basic, maybe you can help me.I have the main piece, the big black 3 level bar.I did a photo mockup of it with some kind of woven bamboo screen behind it and a mirror above.This is my home office, and though not a hard drinker, I like to have a mini-bar for those that are.The bar is open in the back and front, gloss black, glass and chrome.It's 4 foot tall, 4 foot long and about 15 inches deep.So what are your thoughts on setting it up.I have been thinking about having a black stone top made for it, for durability against spills.Does my setup look attractive, or could it use some sprucing up?

Looks like some killer land in my area can be had for around 500k and I'd expect the construction for two mirror image houses to take another 700k.

Of course it may well still be an awful company and a mirror of Morris Invest.
