It is exhausting to live in a job site and feel like you are bleeding cash, but we've done a couple of times and still think it's a good idea.

I also reccomend lining up a contractro early, realy early, from what I’ve heard, so you can keep everything on schedule and budget.So now that you’ve tackled what most investors would call a major job, do you see yourself repeating a similar strategy.. or do you feel like branching out into something else?
