@Ray Lai good morning, that sounds awesome!!

I think there's a lot of income to be made by doing it in LA.  I

Again, I understand that $65/sqft is inexpensive, but I'd be willing to wager construction costs are significantly less expensive in rural Texas as compared to LA. I

Let me remind that LA is a busy place, and one contractor, even if you have a contract, might not be able to do your job on your specific time, that will eventually change your financing timeline, or force you to change contractor, which ultimately will mean that there is a change the budget, I believe that accounts for 5-10% accuracy difference.

Cool Tripp, I am in LA. I

You then put your hands over your ears and sang "la la la" I can't hear you but now the world's a better place because of me.
