The area was designed as a retirement zone and it still has that reputation.

Other exclusions are roof replacement, anything requiring a permit, exterior painting if more than 5% of surface, "maintenance related to the garden, lawn, or landscaping," anything covered by any of the various required insurance policies, etc.

I paid less than I would if I went with the mastermind's recommended designer. 

Since then, I've learned more into my build, design and project management skills, taken everything in house, gotten my GC license and taken a more hands on approach.

I’ve gotten quotes ranging from $6,500-$12k to repair and waterproof the exterior walls, plus there's the added cost of repairing and repainting the inside walls.

They will know the local requirements and come up with a quick design.

We would handle the structure and property design, planning, permits, bids, sub-division (if needed) for the project.

I would not trust AI with anything really important, like writing legal documents or designing a new house.

It is coming in the exterior from what it looks like.

I've seen some posts arguing about design and color scheme choices that are in and out of style in rehabs and flips so I figured I would give my first hand advice.
