@Minh Le, I would love to hear your theory why you think that the S&P will only correct 20% into Dec/Jan 2015 and not a 50% correction to 1000 and possibly lower, continuing its decline into 2015 and possibly 2016.I see that you are a believer of indexing the S&P 500 like I am. 80% of all the fund managers with trophy degrees (Top ten MBA), designations (CFA), with fancy investment banking titles can't seem to beat the S&P 500 over a long run.

This way they can weed out those who dress up a D as a C or those who dress up a C as a B.

I have had to be very intentional dressing up either the charm/character of the houses and or keeping rent close to what those new builds are.Overall, I see an influx of rental properties (both in new apartments and in SFRs) so trying to be competitive with rental rates has driven either the rates down in price or flat.

No fancy research

The original dressing rooms off each bedroom were converted into bathrooms as far back as the 1930s/40s/ - so each bedroom has its own bathroom.The original "bathroom" - with its copper tub - sites through a door off a landing on the grand stairwell and is actually in the servants wing of the building over the kitchen.Much of the bedroom furniture, and some of the other original furniture is still present in the house (either its room of use or stored in the third-floor attic.  

You can even add crown moulding, light rails, new hardware, etc. to dress them up.

He was working as a finish carpenter and painter with a background in set dressing (aka staging) and had a good friend who was a great residential broker.We sold the bungalow and bought another wreck of a house which we are currently living in.

My wife and I just moved to "West Brickell" in Miami (that is the not-so-fancy part of town, but put in nice words).
