:We have a duplex with a tiled bath floor on one side and allure grip strip on the other, both installed by us.

That part i'm not concerned with -- what i want to know is:"How can the seller -- instead of discounting the price of the property by an additional $1.4M -- offer me the $1.4M in cash at time of closing"  So the bank is still only loaning 75%-80% of the appraised value... i still put up 20%-25% in cash... but i then get a big cash check at closing - or in a side escrow deal - which enhances my cash-on-cash return that much more.  

I have been considering renting by the room for enhanced cash flow in this market where it is hard to get strong cash flow.

It has already enhanced my business and I anticipate it will continue to do so and get me in a better position for the next downturn when folks are over-leveraged and need a way out.  

I believe the company is on track to enter the black next year and I feel the stock will be a nice enhancement to our retirement funds down the line.

Market values are difficult to get a grip of with how diverse the neighborhoods are here.

Then, after high school, take some cheap courses online or at your community college that will enhance the area in which you're interested. 

Population and employment growth has remained strong and continues to enhance our supply/demand especially outside of the A class segment.I'm underwriting everything with flat line rent growth and a large increase in vacancy.

@Ryan Gutleber I have used quite a bit of the grip strip stuff from HD.

But, going to college also means you can learn a lot more about subjects that will enhance your knowledge and be useful later in life.
