@David OhCreating a profit-sharing program is a great way to align employee goals with the company’s success, but it’s crucial to design it carefully.

Investing in features like high-end appliances and modern designs yielded a higher ROI.

But I also like DIY design and drafting so YMMV.

Realize that you need to design around it.  

@Christina Galdieri  A 1031 exchange is specifically designed for real property held for productive use in a trade or business or for investment.

Builders can offer those crucial incentives, and the homes themselves often come with modern features and energy-efficient designs that make them even more appealing to buyers.Looking ahead, it’s clear that new-home sales will remain a bright spot in the housing market.

Since I'm taking such a cash hit, I asked the sellers agent if they would be able to designate some portion of the sale price ($200k?)

It sounds like an incredible resource, for $200 having a fully designed materials and fixtures schedule to pair with a labor only GC or a GC that can work well with a prescriptive materials schedule. https://ivoryhome.co/predesigned-packages/Just curious how other people’s experience has been.
