No clue about the supply for commercial though.  

Run the 120vac from the dimmer into dimmable power supplies / transformers and then run them to one or a few led lights. 

A real fireplace like that will discolor from either smoke or heat after a while. 

This is the market to buy.Seller's Market I - supply dwindles fast, properties selling fast / very competitive, bidding wars start as properties come onto the market, time on the market is at it's lowest point, unemployment low, properties prices and rents rising, demand is at it's highest point, market will start to cool off at some point (can't last forever).  

Cash investors take 50% of whatever portion of costs they've supplied, so assuming that's all of it there's still 50% meat on the bone.

I would have given these a shot but could not find local supply at a reasonable price.

Only if they smoke and have 5 cats.  

Real estate crashed about 25-30% in market value in 2008 and some say that was the tip of the iceberg but it's hearsay and as @Simon Ruiz mentioned there's still cranes everywhere so demand is still greater than supply in LA.

I have not ran into this problem yet, but I was having trouble finding the right wording to put into my lease regarding the penalty for smoking in a non-smoking unit.

And let's say that you have $15,000 in deductible expenses (car mileage, office supplies, phone charges, etc).Therefore, your net income is $85,000 ($100,000 minus $15,000).Your taxes on $85,000 would be:- 10% of the first $17,000- 15% of $17,001 - $69,000- 25% of $69,001 - $85,000That equals:$1700 + $7800 + $4000 = $13,500So, you'd be paying about $13,500 on income of $85,000, or about 15.8% in this example.Of course, it's going to be more complicated than this in the real world, but that's the gist of it...
