Sprinkler systems, wear resistant floors, better paint.

The one major red flag for me was his resistance to provide the names and contact information of any current "students" using his program.

When we first implemented our system, we met a fair amount of confusion and resistance.  

Granite is highly resistant to scratching, cracking and staining, and is impervious to heat.

All right - can't resist on this one.

I tried to resist jumping in but could not help myself.

Well, I am waiting for the day when we can buy really cheap hurricane proof impact resistance windows, those windows can withstand 200mph hurricane force winds and a cococut projectile coming at the window at a speed of 200mph, and the glass is made of a material where you can use a remote to adjust the transparency level to control how much light is let in, and you can set it so that it is totally transparent, 50% transparent, turn itself into a mirror on the inside or outside only, or make itself into a screen for me to surf the internet or watch a show. 

Tons of eager REI newbies have flamed out because of lack of money.  

Taking the path of least resistance comes at a price IMO.
