It's the script for "&" that did not translate properly, possibly because of the font used or something. 

My lease states there are to be no alterations to the property without LL approval.If a tenant wants a big TV, couldn't they just put it on a TV stand?

When I design or build for clients, I spend a good amount of time discussing the concept of costs and how often times a low first cost does not translate to overall value and can lead to added costs down the road. 

Each sponsor vying for investor money claiming that their deal is great, that “their underwriting is conservative, that they have X amount of experience which will translate into success for you.”But the transparency behind all of this is limited and often times risks, weaknesses, and aggressive assumptions can be found which a passive investor might not see. 

That reduces his risk which might translate to better terms.  

I'm concerned about whether the deal is good for my partners and myself and do not care what others are paying for cash flow.When we sell - or when market circumstances indicate we should alter our plans and sell -  we look at the Market CAP rate to see what folks are paying per unit of cash flow ... if the market is {over}paying dearly for cash-flow, it may well be a good time to sell as we could demand a premium price and increase our overall return.

You also have to pass an alteration agreement with your co-op board which may cost money -- money to contractors, EXPEDITERS, sub-contractors.... what's the extent of the work you're doing.

Hardwood floors..last...My deadline...3/1....Ok it's probably not going to happen...Breathe...Need to alter plans...RE at it best..But It's ALL GOOD!!!

Or can you say something to the effect of, "please call with an english/spanish/arabic speaking translator?"

Translating that into a dollar loss you can decide what premiums are worth.
