[off topic background]As a programmer, we sometime 'optimize' systems by the on-demand requirements.that means, do nothing UNTIL it is required[returning to the topic]In REI, where vacancies are low and long intervals between, we can 'cheat' ourselves by fixed allocations for these items, year on year and could have easily banked these values.Yes, funds will have accrued to cover 99% of the issues, but a fixed Reserves account will easily cover current needs.EVERY investor needs to evaluate the question and develop an approach to the move-out problem.

Do you think voicemail is the optimal solution to a missed call?

Fortunately, BP's got you covered: Click Tools in the main menu bar above, then select REI Resources.

There is little doubt in my mind the optimism of that time had a tremendous under-acknowledged effect on people coming of age then (myself included) and it would stand to reason that the same is true for those watching the market collapse around them while coming of age more recently.

Its not optimal, because you're never going to recognize massive appreciation, but I'm not brave enough to deploy funds to buy an 8 unit building in [insert city here] when I literally know nothing about that city's neighborhoods.With all of that said, Luzerne County has some really solid pockets where there is a good renter base and enough middle class jobs to keep housing prices growing very, VERY slowly.

It's a sub-optimal use of capital.  

Aside from maintaining a happy relationship, my time has been spent @ the gym, consuming REI info, and resting.But I know I can optimize my time to better help myself, my loved ones, and my goals!

Most companies give discounts for bundling policies but it doesn’t always make sense to do so to optimize on value – the combination of price and coverage.

Hey George,You can do that at the bottom of the "Results" page of the report from the "More Actions" menu.

This way you can handle more expenses while being far away.I personally chose to invest in Indianapolis, USA, but there are several other good options in North America, Europe and Asia too.Once you are clear on what your purpose for investing is and what the optimal strategy will be, you might find that there are many areas that have potential for you.
