Ours are fairly specific.Also forgot to mention that I keep a pretty active eye on school board related stuff with regard to zoning - as well as demographics, population estimates, expected growth areas and new housing projections provided by the board - which is helpful sometimes when it comes to negotiating deals and evaluating them - especially since we're primarily looking to hold.
