I realize that we have had only two posts so far (with many more to come) but I am anticipating the the quality of these posts will persist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have noticed that several of you are struggling with a decision between two or more topics and a couple of you have asked me if it was possible to do a second blog post for a grade.  So far my response has been 'no.'  However, due to the initial success of this project, I will treat a second blog post as a single quiz grade, if you choose to do a second blog post (entirely your option and definitely not a requirement).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with the first blog post, you will post directly to the REAE@UTA main blog, realestateprogram.blogspot.com.  Also, I will ask you to make the second blog post shorter in length, as compared to the first.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first blog post should be between 1,500 to 2,500 words.  For reference, Richard's post was 1,800 words and Ramya's was right at 2,500 words (the max).  This second blog post should be between 800 and 1,500 words.  I am trying to keep the posts at lengths that people will be willing to read on computer screens.  Also, remember that we are more interested in quality than quantity (and yes, spelling and grammar still count!).  As with the first blog post, please provide references/citations and links.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9053343748583376494-3332494895506250142?l=reae5311.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reae5311.blogspot.com/feeds/3332494895506250142/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9053343748583376494&amp;postID=3332494895506250142' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9053343748583376494/posts/default/3332494895506250142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9053343748583376494/posts/default/3332494895506250142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reae5311.blogspot.com/2008/10/ok-blog-post-project-part-ii.html' title='OK, blog post project, part II'/><author><name>Andrew Hansz PhD CFA MAI</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053343748583376494.post-7624738048330100192</id><published>2008-10-16T12:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-16T12:41:28.783-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Student Questions'/><title type='text'>Student Question</title><content type='html'>Dr. Hansz,&lt;br /&gt;    I have been practicing the investment problem and was wandering where the solutions to the other two problems are.
