I was then reminded on a few occasions how much it cost to clean, prime, and repaint every surface in the place, and now my lease is clear that smoking is not permitted inside and there is a $200 fee per occurrence of evidence that smoking has occurred.

And William James wrote of his own emotional & mental break down, that as an young man, he was able to emerge from, "few scarcely can know of the pit of insecurity which lies just beneath the surface of life."

Hiking, downhill, cross country and water ski, run, road bike, camp, hunt, shoot sporting clays, shoot archery, rock climb, travel, play hockey, coach my kids sports, build furniture and doing nearly anything active with family and friends.

The shelter in place orders have brought to the surface many of the simmering conflicts in the multi-family units we manage. 

And it was a great start to a relationship that is still alive years later.On the other hand: I had a licensed broker recommended by an investor friend in Indianapolis, flew out there to look at the market and meet him, partnered with a local to me friend who had done local flips (that was my first flip, but I was no REI novice) and has an advanced accounting degree, also had the friend vet the broker and each property he brought to our consideration for a flip, finally agreed on a specific property after months of turning down others, signed a very specific (our attorney-drawn) contract that outlined project management responsibilities by the broker, kept in touch through the (delayed) process (and numerous excuses that - at that time - did not seem unreasonable,) flew out there again when the rehab was completed (and found a bunch of issues “on the surface” that he quickly addressed,) only to eventually lose a lot of money through the broker’s apparent negligence and downright fraud...

Hmm on the surface this is a “0.64% rule deal” is that good for Columbus?

My question is what type of hard surface countertop would you use?

A population trend that looks bad on surface, could be a fantastic thing. 

An offer of $355k (or even $340k) on a $370k listing that has been sitting on the market for four months is not unreasonable on the surface. 

When I say uninhabitable, I mean stripped of all copper plumbing and wire, vandalized, holes in the roof, flooded basements, every surface of the house covered in mold, failed foundations caved in with the basement full of dirt, man-sized holes in the floor and some that were absolute tear-downs.#3.
