My goal in real estate is be able to live comfortably off of the passive income from my investments, getting away from my day job as a scheduling manager at a mid-size heavy metal fabrication company.  

As much as I want to agree with @Colin L. that Fiverr could be able to do this, I think the best money spent is with a true architectural rendering indicating what full SD would look like in its full fabric.

Depends on quantity and style of granite, some slabs are more than others, but typically, slabs run me about $400-$600 plus fabrication and install.

Lay some engineering fabric down and some oyster shell if they allow and you're in business.Always look for nasty properties and figure out to add value. 

The GC looked at it, brought his electrician in and said, "The box is too old to find a new cover and building codes don't allow us to fabricate a new one, so it will be $2000 to replace the entire panel."

I have bounced a couple ideas around; single family renting out rooms, multi family, as well as a live-in-flip.I have no problems getting dirty, as I spend my free time building things with friends, welding, fabricating etc.I am looking for guidance as to some key articles I should read, books etc, as well as some avenues to explore regarding the ideas listed above. 

The rich may feel good about it now, but when it continues for too long, it tends to rend the societal fabric upon which we depend- and it isn't too long before the "have-nots" show up at the door with pitchforks.

That's where we learned that you can buy sheer fabric by the yard so much cheaper than sewn curtains and it only takes a little time and work with a sewing machine to turns the fabric into correctly-sized sheer panels.Women really notice when they're apartment hunting which landlord did nothing for the windows and which provided basic window treatments.

I am currently an estimator for a local glass and metal fabrication company.

I grew up on a farm and ranch in the same area I live now and currently work as a drafter for a structural steel fabricator.
