So frustrating, but now you're better off for it and I reckon any maintenance calls with pale in comparison to that whole saga.

Well, my 35 years experience as a syndicater, investor and lender pales in comparison to the "2 -5 deals" experience you have under your belt, so I'm sure you are "absolutely" correct.  

Otherwise I use farrow and ball (colormatched by SW) Ammonite (very pale greige)and Purbeck Stone (two tones darker in same palette).

This usually will cost us a small concession for inconvenience to the incoming guest but this pales in comparison to the higher occupancy rate.

The $700 it might cost me for an eviction lawsuit pales in comparison to the cost of litigation i may face by doing something wrong or assuming i know what i'm doing with evictions after foreclosure. 

Also, I've started painting all of our units a very, very pale yellow/linen color (the wife picked it out and everyone that sees it loves it) and the trim all gets hi-gloss white enamel.

We have a condo in Scripps Ranch and whatever cash flow we ever made on it pales in comparison to the appreciation we've experienced.Finding properties in SoCal that meet the 50% "rule" are hard to come by unless you shake hands on a mouth-watering deal or buy somewhere in gang-land.

The cash flow from a large multifamily property, while significant, will usually pale in comparison to the gains that can be realized by selling at a new value added NOI/exit cap rate.If you have investors who are content to give you their money and sit and collect cash flow, then a refi and hold forever strategy might work.

Taking into account the debt pay down, tax benefits, and cash flow from option 1, that $20K profit from option 3 pales in comparison to option 1.
