My name is Jonah Rupe, I go to school here in Lubbock at Texas Tech University getting my BBA with a concentration in project management as well as a construction engineering minor.

What goes up must come down, ballons pop, engines blow up.

The study identifies with forensic engineering detail the immediate Bonus Depreciation 5, 7 and 15-year personal property class lives qualifying portions of a building that are normally buried in 27.5 year residential or 39 year commercial categories.

 But to be fair, besides people not being happy with those kinds of houses anymore, builders couldn't build them and make any money due to high costs of planning, permitting, sewer and water hook ups, electric hook ups, etc.Well, we do have this Tiny House fad right now, but can someone explain to me how these are any better than an old fashioned trailer?  

In my experience the basics for a functional RE based CRM are:Custom Fields for Data Objects (Leads, Prospects, Applications, Buildings, Units, etc...)A Screening Engine (background/credit checks, employment verification, etc)Online Rental Application (this should automatically run the application through screening)Ability to mass email/sms leads and tenants to provide informationSurveys/Inspection formsI've been building real estate CRM tools for years.

Yeah nothing to show but a successful real estate portfolio, partially funded by a software engineering career that lets me glue django and twilio together to roll my own spam tool in a weekend, if I wanted to.

Then you can have the specialist sub pull permits for their work under their license, plumbing, electrical, roofing, etc.. 

As of now utilities (electricity, water, gas and sewage) are a flat rate of $100 per unit which is tacked onto the rent.

Much cheaper to maintain and on the electric billand etc.I only build cabins in the woods though so again, the drainage would be the issue if you are more in a neighborhood or something.
