@Lisa PerezWe are frequently criticized for spending too much on our renovations - energy efficiency is core to our operating beliefs, so we frequently spend a little more time improving "out-of-sight" things (air sealing, insulation, LED lighting, ventilation, etc.) then many of our competitors.Similar to the sentiment you expressed, I am also a firm believer that our properties should be in a condition where I would be willing to live there with my family before I could ask someone else to do the same.  

Seller is selling 8 of the 148 units that he owns in this complex... i think Sorry, what expression caused a problem - - really like to know.

Businesses that produce / use these commodities would have to pass those fluctuations through to the consumer immediately (or at least within their credit floats), the net result being that the price of gas (or any other commodity) would fluctuate by very large amounts very often.Speculators bear all that risk of price fluctuation in the interim between production and delivery and create the liquidity needed for businesses to lock in the sales price of a good they haven't yet produced (or the purchase price of a good they need to use in production).

Only one guy shows up with his young daughter and expresses his immediate interest.  

The Appraiser is forbidden (by law) to discuss their opinion or appraisal results with anyone other then their client, without their express permission, which does not happen, in these cases.

Many of these guys, especially the smaller subs, come onto my team with the express understanding that if they would like get my business and keep my business - that they are not to take on additional work for other investors/developers (people who are most likely to throw any kind of volume their way and subsequently compromise my ability to get my jobs done in a timely manner) without my approval.

So, I spent yesterday morning down at City Hall and did the full tour, including Office of Buildings, Residential Permitting, Express Permits, Zoning, UDC, Transportation Office (for a dumpster permit I knew I didn't need that Residential Permitting insisted I did) , and the inspector's office.  

Then they want a delivery fee.

I heard re express will get the job done (also cheapest) but if it’s too wordy and hard to retain it might just be wasting time if I find it hard to finish.
