Measure yourself, or for more credibility get an appraisal and use that measurement.

Interest rates serve as a measure of "alternative investments" (alternative uses of capital) and thus have an inverse relationship with the value of the stock.I used the term "value" rather than "price" because lots of factors cause the "value" of a share of stock to diverge from its "price".

The trouble is with measuring it when you introduce things like depreciation tax shields and such.

I received a letter today from the Housing Authority that as part of the "Section 8 cost-saving measures" The rent payment will be reduced from 110% FMR (Fair Market Rent) to 90% of that.

This is generally measured in SEER, with the lowest allowed by law being 13 SEER these days, and going up to about 21 SEER (very, very energy efficient);- The power of the compressor.

This way you have a way to measure how successful your campaign was.

It is a statement that is impossible to measure, there were 1 million jobs lost in the same period.

@Phillip Dwyer We are hopeful that our energy efficiency measures will allow us to command a rent premium eventually {I'm not sure enough of the renter population truly understands the benefits}, we have noticed a bump in retention in the properties we have renovated.

If it is like the mostly 55 - 125 year old properties we purchase, get your self a good tape measure and download Google sketchup ... your going to be making floor plans.Now, once you have your floor plan and have identified the walls you would like to remove, take it (the floorplan) and an Engineeer or Contractor to the house to see which of those walls can be removed and which are structural.
