ConEd used to sell excess steam (byproduct) when it "bought out" the plants from NYC itself - it does not do so anymore, as far as I know - this was the cheapest heating option at the time and is still used in Europe extensively esp where it is cold!

It may seem excessive to plow into this analysis, but I assure you: if you understand supply/demand issues at work in your intended market, you will have greater confidence to pull the trigger or put the gun down.You can be successful as an investor, but it won’t happen if you can’t identify the target and pull the trigger with consistency and accuracy.

Calling an exterminator is excessive even if there were a dozen or more mice hiding in the property.

This 8% + 4% structure is unclear based on what you've written, but sounds more like a 12% preferred structure if the project achieves those goals.Given that it is a value-add project, the returns could be well in excess of 12% and the sponsors could merely be offering investors a healthy 12% return, while taking the rest of the uplift as their promote.Hard to say for sure based on what you've written, but should not be difficult to find out from the sponsor.

Then, use a damp cloth to wipe off the excess. ~ a guy who has put in and removed a crap-load of toilets.

I think it may be possible to fix the economy without his help.As far as the currency I think he is capable of great destruction if people allow him to continue his excessive spending.

You don't want to overextend yourself but excess cash does no good.
