This is in contrast to everything I am learning, which is that the money usually owns 100% of the equity and the non-cash partner, general partner, whatever the name is, owns a profit sharing percentage only.

Often times an outdated condo will sit on the market... which is in direct contrast to Denver, where outdated homes are often quickly eaten up by investors. 

Or I could just put the contrasting tiles around the edge, make it look intentional, not like a nice-try-but-failed attempt at finding something close.

By contrast if it's a more significant difference, >1% or so, because unbeknownst to you your FICO score tanked between preapproval and being in escrow (or whatever), I'd say that's reasonable, not crazy.

And usually the responses are presented in contrasting views for the same reasons.

In that situation if someone buys a more risky mom and pop type property at a higher cap rate then maybe worst case it breaks even or lender asks for small amount to extend loan or refi.This is in stark contrast to a commercial property that is 3,5, 10 million in price with a national tenant with fixed rental increases.

By contrast, investing in real Estate is like driving your own car.
