Real quick update

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Short post today.  Apartment #2 closed yesterday!!!  Only thing negative was that interest rates crept up from below 6% to 6.35% by the time we lock.  0.0035% is huge when you are borrowing $10 million.  That will cut into our cashflow numbers by about $3,000 a month.
