A networking and mentoring opportunity of massive proportions.6) Of the real estate and other events that you've attended, what is the one thing that you've liked the most?

If I provide 5% of down and he provides the other 15% (proportion 1:3) but I'll do all the job to run this property is it still normal to be 50-50 partners in this enterprise?

That to me is really more a way to tie up the land for a long time, speculating on future development, than an agricultural business.While I think the community gardens can be great for a neighborhood, and a few people are making money growing niche agricultural products, I don't see urban farming as something that will employ large numbers of people or consume a large proportion of Detroit's vacant land.

To get the pond in the magazine picture you need the right filters, aquatic plants, bugs, specific fish and food...all in the perfect proportions combined with talent and skill.  

When a developers mad at the contractor on performance, and they've had ****** weather and cant reach compaction with mud, it goes to show just how out of touch with reality most people are.

Old-school masonry - be it foundation, bricks or blocks - were usually made of only lime and sand, no cement, their proportions have to be exact and they cured very slowly and could be adversely affected by water exposure early in the curing process.

Im also guessing that the figures only focus on proportion of owners compared to renters as opposed to proportion of sales taking place.

But in apartments surely, practicality militates thinking compact rather than cavernous.  

Also, be very careful in reading the language of the fine prints in the coverage and exceptions.I am in Florida and I know my policy does not cover the "repair" of pipe leaks but does cover damages caused by sudden and unexpected leaks.So if a leak happens underground below your slab, the cost to remove the tiles/carpet/wood flooring, breaking up the slab, tearing up the baseboard, excavating to the location of breakage, are all covered, then the actual repair, which might be a $300 simple job, NOT covered, then to lay down a bed of gravel, refill, compaction, termicide application, moisture barrier, repour concrete and reinforcement, new flooring, new baseboards, painting etc...are again covered.

If taxes were proportional to real estate values (similar to queens) or any other place in the US the value of these houses would certainly rise, or at best stabilize, because people could actually afford to LIVE there.
