String together some singles and the runs count just as much as those driven in with a home run.

I am working on the low zero count at the moment but do live vicariously through the experiences of others.Best wishes!!

Don't count those deals yet though you could jinx them. 

I don't make a habit of counting other people's money but  The developer is selling a house for $450k cash and then basically paying $36,000 a year to have a showroom in the office.

In this area there may be a bit of appreciation but I'm not counting on it as being significant.

Such as blackjack if you're counting cards.

The 50% accounts for vacancy already so you're counting it twice right now.

What is the car count each day on the road?

i believe that most lenders won't count the rent as income if it is paid by immediate family (though it wouldn't qualify anyway unless its been on your tax returns for 2 years by most standards anyway). also, you are assuming incorrectly for probable vacancies. many states now require students to take atleast 1 summer session and many students will stay in the area regardless as they may have jobs or other obligations. when i lived in the dorms when i was in college, i used to hate it when the dorms would close for periods of time (ie between fall and spring term). such a hassle!

In fact, that's essentially what the banks do when they wrongly foreclose on people's houses...and maybe I'm in the minority, but I still count on the government to protect me from both individual criminals as well as corporate criminals who are trying to infringe upon my Constitutional rights.
