We only get one life and the whole idea of making it your own has been so far suppressed in society, people don't even know it's possible.

Their employees perform a variety of functions, including water quality and law enforcement, fire suppression, harvest regulation, and even timber industry promotion.

I'm looking to suppress the "impact noise" from the second floor unit above us, but I'm not sure if the insulation would be as effective as the resilient channels or joist isolators as mentioned in this post - as well as other soundproofing posts.

Fire suppression system will be your major item to resolve.  

That feeling is there for a reason and ignoring or suppressing it could set you up for a bad beginning.Hope this helps!

TI...aka Tenant Improvements...your future tenant may want to negotiate different terms for the move in, like a few months discounted rent(this could be on top of the above mentioned vacancy) while they build out the place, or some concession for the Tenant Improvements, if you  have an empty shell it could require extensive work to make it business ready for different types of business, think needing to add bathrooms for a gym(dozens of showers and toilets, lockers, etc) or adding a fully equipped commercial kitchen(walk in freezers, special fire suppression, a few extra sinks or drains) With apartments, I rarely have to do extensive build outs or concessions for tenants, even if I have full on renovation, it is almost always replace the old with same but new, ie tear out old kitchen put new kitchen in same place, same plumbing, just new cabinets, and flooring(if you are at all handy, you can do most of it yourself, or be able to estimate accuracy of bids easily).

Or a fire suppression system?

I can't imagine having this Real Estate bug and having to "suppress it" for that long!

So I'm going to have to call and see if they can tack it on to my main purchase.I noticed you can suppress dupicates from previously purchased lists.

Either 1) get out of the way and let the market work, relatively free from restriction or 2) suppress market forces for so long that eventually the city decays as the original base of wealth is siphoned off by high taxes or those people choose to leave.
