thebkr777 Can anyone explain?
JTuranyi thebkr777, for II. notes say that location is the single most important determinant of property value, while for IV. reading mentions that real estate market tends to be cyclical --> underlying economy in recession means falling prices and vice versa
davidt87 I. tenants can be kicked out (eventually) - so not a KEY factor

III. interior decorations can relatively cheaply be changed - again not a KEY facto
