Now saves ROI as raw number, and only uses toFixed(4) when displaying. This is to resolve bug where max ROI item isn't treated as max ROI sporadically.

Changed property info gathering to mimic http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/37709 since it's much cleaner than the code I had, and it automatically figures out what properties are availble (without looking at user level), and automatically figures out original base-values based on current value and number owned etc. just generally much nicer than my previous hard-coded arrays that were based on the excel calculators.
Also added code to factor in counts of beachfront-lot/container-yard - if count=10, treat as land bank. Otherwise, treat it as investment value, and show with ROI.

Fixed regex bug caused by level:xx change (space after : is optional)
Right most column can now be toggled between actual price and time to buy (for specified number) by clicking on the column header.

Fixed NaN bug introduced by new countdown timers that let you know when more cash will be earned.
Fixed bug with include/exclude expensive properties - when a property with a higher ROI wasn't found, it would say it was ignoring Villas because they were too expensive.
Removed include/exclude button - it just wasn't working the way I wanted it. Instead, if the next best buy seems too expensive, an alternate recommendation is now also included. If the next best buy seems affordable, the alternate is not recommended.
For the next best buy (and alternate, if shown), now also displays time/turns it will take for enough cash to be available to buy the number (1x, 5x, 10x) being viewed by the user.

Added buttons to see Next Actual Price x1, x5, x10
Added available cash (cash + land bank) now, in one turn, 2 turns, etc (listed in actual minutes)
Now gauges current cash and cash flow and lowers recommendation (NAP < Cash+CashFlow*10). If a lowered recommendation is warranted, a button is displayed to allow the user to toggle between the recommendation that is more easily affordable vs the highest ROI, which may take more than 10 turns to buy.
updated bug where property list for lower levels is different (beachfront lot, container yard, highrise apartment, luxury hotel)
