FYI the sod is a bluegrass fescue blend from what they told me. 

Don't make it so bland that it blends in and fades away, but stay away from colors that make even the color-blind folk cringe.I will venture a guess that your common sense already told you that.

I'm finding the blend of ideas and philosophies somewhat  interestning on this thread.

If this is NNN 12,000 a month and you paid no expenses then you would be at 144,000 a year NOI.144,000 / 2,500,000  = 6% cap rateIf you put 25% down and get a rate in the 4's fixed with a 25% year amort. you are likely cash flowing only single digits.Would have to know how much rent increases per year for the blended cap rate over time.For example:Year 1 cap is 6.5, year 2 after 2% increase is 6.7, year 3  6.9 cap etc.I didn't run the actual numbers for this.You do not want short term bank debt of 5 years because if you refi in year five instead of selling and interest rates have moved to 6 you could almost be cash flow negative.     

If you want a lasting repair, your best bet is to cut out a section of the drywall and put in a new piece that spans a few studs on each side of the crack.Cost: patch job should be $30 to $50, or more depending on your negotiating.Cutting out a large section and putting in a new piece would probably be $150-$250.The wall texture will also determine how good the finished product blends and how long it will take.

A perfect blend (!)

Also, the higher percentage ethynol blends are hard on engines designed for typical gasoline consumption.

The overall blended return is double digits.

Investors should consider to trade up and out into better areas or the suburbs and find a good blend of cash flow and appreciation potential.Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this!

I tend to take an approach to investing that blends quantitative and qualitative analysis.I enjoy evaluating potential investments and helping others to do the same.
