Farmers were just Aces in the process and payoff.Here in Southern Calif, Allstate is a shame - - there are many homes that waited 10+ years for payments and then they stopped writing policies in California. 

Thank you @Mike Ventura.  

I could certainly find a new job - luckily there's an ACE being built nearby.

They told him to take a CE class and pay the fee.

Michael Ventura I'll shoot you an email.

@Michael Ventura almost bought it and i was going to do the work.what questions do u have?

I am a senior at UMD graduating with a CEE degree.

i think the numbers in this post for construction are really low... its def not 200 a sqft, the poster that said 350 is prob more spot on.... i looked a project where the house was just off ventura in studio city yet facing it, the next door house was capecod new build sold for 2.3m i think and the nextdoor lot was thesame size for sale 950k-990k i forgot where it closed...long story short at a min you need 3000 sqft for those homes and at a 300 build thats at least 900k if you are lucky...you need much higher quality finishes and products to command that market esp in the valley, and a pool at least will cost 150k...so long story short, the margins might be decent to make like 200-300k but the risk is far greater.. if that luxury mkt softens a 10% drop in price on a 2m house is a lot of money whereas a 10% drop in price on a say 600k flip is only 60k

Welcome @Daniel Smith and @Evan Ventura.
