In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You shouldn't buy an apartment complex unless you can afford it. Analyze whether the current landlord has rented units too cheaply or whether the rent is in line with the market rate. Find comparable apartment complexes online. Look at how much they advertise their units for. For a great resource that can help you find out nearby rent prices, visit https://padmapper.com/. You can also ask different property management companies what is the market rate in your area. If the complex has commercial space, then a real estate agent can also help you figure out how much to charge. Apartment complexes need constant maintenance, so you need to analyze the expense of upkeep. Get the profit-and-loss statement from the current owner. However, don't trust it 100%. The owner might fudge some numbers to make the apartment complex more attractive. Double check the expense information: Get the complex's tax information from the county assessor. Estimate property management costs by contacting a property management company. Ask how much they charge. Typically, their fee is based on a percentage of the expected rent. Calculate the amount of maintenance needed. If you've never run an apartment complex before, talk to a current owner. Ask how much they spend annually repairing each unit or the grounds. Ideally, you'd want to be spending around 40 percent of the money you're taking in on operating expenses. Lenders won't give you money to buy an apartment complex unless you can show that it will be profitable. Work closely with an accountant to crunch numbers and create the necessary financial documents to show a lender. You can find an accountant by contacting your state's society of public accountants. Calculate your net operating income, which is your gross income less expenses. Create a cash flow analysis. Show how the amount of money you have coming in compares to the amount you will be spending. When you're starting out, or during periods when the rental market is bad, you may not have any cash flow coming in. Keep in mind that lenders will also run their own numbers, as well as the appraiser who values the complex.
Summary: Estimate how much you can charge in rent. Estimate your expenses. Run the numbers.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The dropped "r" is a classic New York sound, though it is actually going out of style. The tricky part is to remember when to subtly drop the "r." It only disappears when it is before a consonant, though the disappearance is slight -- listening to native speakers will help you find the sweet spot. So, for example: Park "Pak." Nurse "Nuhse." Water "Watta" River "Rivva" Fear "Feah"Note, however, that some New Yorkers also add "r"s where they aren't needed, like "idea-r" or "law-r and order." These are generally colloquial and common in older speakers. This is found in the cliched New York accent expression "toity-toid street" ("33rd Street"). But it is not always so cliche -- dropping the softer, whispery "thhhh" sound for a harder "ddd" or "tttt" sound is very New York. The "teh" That "tat" or "dat" Three "tree" When making "d" or "t" sounds, place your tongue against the back of your bottom teeth. Note the subtle difference. Many of the words that have the "o" sound (like in coffee) are pronounced with an "aw" sound. So the word dog, for example, would sound like "dawg", and "coffee" would sound like "cawfee." Talk "Tawk" Thought "Tawwt" The short "o" sound is pretty rare in New York English. Words which include the long "i" in the middle, like "liar", use a very similar "aw" sound, so "liar" should sound almost like "lawyer" This is a tricky one, because it requires turning one syllable into two. Some linguists actually believe it is near impossible for outsiders to learn, but you can pick it up with a bit of practice. Check out the following examples and see if they make sense, trying to get through the first syllable quickly and sliding it naturally into the next. Cab "ca-AHB" Avenue "ahav-enue." Furthermore, most New Yorkers get their words out quickly, speaking with a pace just a bit faster than the average American. Test out a few words, phonetically spelled out for you, to get used to the accent before diving in. The capitalized letters are for emphasis. Sunday "sun-dA" Monday "Mun-dey" Tuesday "Twos-dey" Wednesday "Wehn-s-dey" Thursday "Thuhs-dey" (err being kind of rolled r) Friday "Fry-dey" Saturday "Satuh-dey"
Summary: Only pronounce your "r" sounds if they are before a vowel. Replace a "th" at the beginning and end of words with a percussive "d" or "t" sound. Elongate your vowels into an "awww" sound, especially "a"s and "o"s. Learn the tricky "split a" sound to extend out your vowels naturally. Pronounce New York English as if projecting forward in front of the mouth, almost like a open-mouthed pucker.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are many different types of light to consider. You can choose from LED, fluorescent, incandescent, halogen or Xenon lights. LED lights come in either fixed lengths or in a strip that can be cut. They reduce energy costs and do not require replacement bulbs. They last up to twenty years. Fluorescent bulbs are long-lasting and energy-efficient, but they are harder to conceal. Incandescent bulbs produce a soft, yellowish light and are the most inexpensive option. Their lifespan is short, and they aren't bright enough for utility lighting. Halogen bulbs are bright and shine completely white. They create much more heat than other bulbs, but they also last twice as long as incandescent bulbs. They are more expensive than fluorescent or incandescent. Xenon bulbs are similar to halogen bulbs, but they last longer and radiate less heat. The lighting will require a power source. Plan how you will run cable to the lighting/fixture locations. Determine if you are prepared to run wires, cut holes into the wall, and create new electrical boxes. Alternatively, consider plugging the light fixture into existing outlets or finding battery powered lighting. Plugging in the lighting into an existing outlet means you have to decide how to camouflage the lighting's power cable. Consider hiring an electrician if you're uncomfortable tying the lighting to any electrical wiring. Make sure you are using a code-compliant source of electricity. Make sure the source of power you selected isn't dedicated to the refrigerator or any other kitchen appliances. You don't want to overload the circuit. Make sure the cabinets and counters are free from anything that might obstruct your work. If you need to go through your cabinets for wiring, make sure all the items are removed.
Summary:
Choose an under-cabinet lighting kit. Find your source of power. Clear your workspace.
