At a beginners level it is just a fancy term for hand holding and usually results in disaster.

When it's a fancy event, it's harder to break the ice.

That IS fancy!

But if you're buying a primary residence, telling you what neighborhood to live in is like telling you how to dress. 

It is not uncommon for me to get 100 messages on Facebook wanting my place in a few days ( and they are nothing fancy ) .. of those 100 maybe only 4 candidates will be good enough to schedule a tour .

A nice option might be to do that with no laminate backsplash (straight top back to the wall) and use and inexpensive tile backsplash to dress things up and make it durable.

Dress the part.

So nothing fancy that should jack up the price beyond the norm.The problem is I've been quoted prices that vary as much as 225% among contractors, and everywhere in between -- and all of them seem extremely high based off of estimated *high* end price per square foot for slab foundations that HomeAdvisor, Fixr, AngiesList, and ProBuilder.com list what you should be paying for the San Diego area.

Find a small town local bank or credit union . 50 grand here is a fancy home !

I’m not too sure what you mean by high end vehicle storage and what you will offer but I do know that an individual where I live made fancy units that had a lot of unique offerings for customers and he regrets his decision to do so.
