Just want to hit that curb appeal, make people feel that it is done, that they wont have to spend on it... but not to go TOO hard, as tastes change from person to person.....What did we learn this last few weeks.  1. cold and flu season is a beast, and can whack your schedule.2.

What one person does not like at all another loves.If I was analyzing cold belt states and did not live there the return metric would not have to be just a little higher but very high to invest there versus warm belt states with better projections for long term growth.Again not bashing Ohio investors should just analyze each state for opportunities for risk/reward.
