You'll know real quick if people are willing to pay for your vision.

Here's one a few blocks away:It's highly satisfying to develop a new vision/plan, and then execute with little compromise.

Hi Jim, thanks for pointing out the problem that I have visioned.

Use it as vision and motivation.

This could certainly be a viable strategy to use an appraiser to get what could be the banks appraised value down the road, but I am willing to bet it would take a lot of searching to find that good appraiser who could both nail the value and be able to do so while looking at a piece of crap that will be a gorgeous home later.I agree that it would probably be tough for any old appraiser to do, it isn't that easy to have that level of vision.

Mostly because my "vision" and the way I plan to implement it can never be copied.

You seem to have a lot of interests, jobs, and a vision for what you want for your life.

If your vision is what regus is doing let me know as I would love to give you some ideas about how the space could be even better especially for real estate professionals.
