So you understand from a material point of view: (home depot)5 gallon bucket of cheap interior paint=50Lockset=30Joint compound=104x8 Drywall=10All the brushes, paper towels, cleaner, miscellaneous= 200?

@Crystal Chang  wounded  :)  all of Ohio is not crappy.. there may be crappy homes in some areas but you cannot paint a broad brush.. but being a bay area guy born and raised..

Even if you strip out all the soft benefits, it's obvious that if you can trade something ( like your time), for something of much greater value (community goodwill, great PR, marketing photos, etc.) its a beneficial transaction!

Many people here use hard money lender versus soft money lender which is completely wrong.

It is helping me by clarifying everything I read in the books but I feel like I could use a bit more brushing up .

After I got back from downtown my brother treated me to a case of beer.Thats when we were cracking up & brushing up on our techniqes.

Careful painting with a wide brush.

Instead, I just carried a brush around to mash some paint into where he missed and supervise him.

Take the drain plug out run the brush up and down for 30 seconds flush with soapy water problem most likely solved.2) As for the bathroom floor/shower problem. 

Costs can vary a lot depending on level of finish, what community you are building in (fees can vary a lot) etc but for purposes of a very broad brush I'd use $120/SF plus soft costs (architect, engineer, survey, legal etc at another 15% over hard construction plus land, plus site work.
