Of course, others, as mentioned above, translate this to even larger metro area discussions.

My personal answer to which counts most does not necessarily translate to somebody else who has a different biological "family" dynamic vs created" family dynamic.  

A lot of people talk about how what they learned in school doesn’t translate to the “real world”.

When I read your post I translated the question in my head to: what would my wife be left with if I wasn’t around and she sold everything?

Others have tremendous business experience that can easily translate into the real estate industry quickly. 

STAGFLATION: Again, stagflation is price inflation with high unemployment and low demand/spending translating to little or no real economic growth (adjusted for inflation).

Higher occupancy which translates into higher profitability.

Price per sq ft does not translate 100%, or at least I have not seen that in other neighborhoods.  

If they are illegal, or more importantly if you think they are, they may not be.My last job was a contractor/translator where it was pretty much me, my boss the superintendent, and about 45 non English speaking workers doing a 22 story high rise.

Well, agree with some of what's been said above, most have the right idea as to the applicability of the NVP analysis.Drill down, the NPV is searching for the value of a project (better to say use of funds) over time and translated into present dollars to compare to other alternatives.
