I started talking to all the different groups of kids including the shy ones, dressed nicer, smiled and laughed more, put my voice out there, got involved in sports, welding, and several activities and became class president.

@Joe Splitrock, it wasn't anything fancy, that's for sure! 

A fancy golf cart might be a big hit depending on the location of the home.   

"Quantitative Easing" is a fancy way to say printing additional money.

Getting fancy, they can have electronic devices which can confirm receipt of package, perhaps linked to my phone.At another level, the 200-unit needs some kind of a solution.  

I could tell you fancy numbers and statistics and all sorts of stuff all day long, but why not just skip to the easy fix and ask people who have no stake in the game, yet have knowledge about what you are asking.Then bigger picture, a lot of it is ensuring the strength of the overall market.

Learn what is important in your market (for example, rice cookers are essential in Hawaii) and what is not important (fancy Espresso machine - not so much).  

Have flowers in a vase, or use a basket with a couple of rolled hand towels, guest soaps, and a couple of flowers.You get your color into the bath with the accessories.If I replaced the bathroom floor, I might take a look at the fancy cabinet sink combos, where the cabinet looks like furniture.

You get the idea :) I don't need to pick up chicks with a fancy car... what I want, REALLY want, is the entire world at my whim.

Even at that, when you see hedge funds going into a market, you ask yourself questions..I totally agree with @Joe Villeneuve  that Detroit is not for out-of staters but with partnership with boots on ground, its time to begin to look closely at what going on there.Do not let all the negativeness dampen your interest.....opportunities don't come dressed in ribbon!
