You should have some bench marks in the areas you are trying to level out to see progress.

You can put a small bench to sit down and have some jets in there.

It could make sense to have both risk-on and risk-off pots of money.  

I would argue that there are inherent conflicts of interest with the current incentive structure of real estate agents on both the traditional sell, and buy side.During situations where an agent is legitimately asking whether it's a good time trade-off to be showing properties, again whether rational or not, I think some folks believe that taking this approach produces a '**** or get off the pot' kind of mentality on the part of their client. 

quite a few tenants (homeowners as well these days) don't have a pot to piss in.

Google for more info, it's rather simple and let's you achieve near pot rate. 

Later, you go to Gold Pot Bank, they do business with investor B and know him.

Of course this was the very start of the Pot growing and a lot of my buyers had sacks full of cash !!!

If it looks bad you can wipe it off and retry.Or if it looks like it is going to look horrible, leave the top half alone and find some sort of low profile pot hanger or tray sleeve or something to mount over the hole.

Different markets, different prices, but all at market value.To further stir the pot, nobody has mentioned intrinsic value vs. market value.
