Not necessarily about RE; but an encouraging NY Times article today for great people on BP.FIRE movement — the acronym stands for financial independence, retire early — a way out of soul-sucking, time-stealing work and an economy fueled by consumerism.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/style/fire-financial-independence-retire-early.html?

Rehabbing all the bathrooms and kitchens with trendy weathered wood and farmhouse style finishes?

The immigrants were usually 2-3 generations packed into small ranch/bungalow style homes.

Hi Biggerpockets Team,I am renovating my house and studio unit and am in need of good cabinets and counter tops.So far I have talked to a few vendors that deal with custom to RTA style kitchen cabinets and they are either way too expensive or the quality was sub-par for a primary residence.I also looked at a couple of countertop vendors and quartz counter tops are expensive!

Everyone has their own style, but for me personally, I never pay labor by the hour.

The technology and styles have just changed.

I recently switched to Lowes' Diamond NOW Arcadia off-the-shelf Shaker style cabinets. 

Some ideas that come to mind: -Yeti style mug or Swell water bottle with your logo on it (filled with candy). 

I do this while doing some mindless task like washing dishes (or when the kids are... being kids) and I want to keep "working" but can't use my hands or take notes.

I was thinking (and this is where I need advice) on purchasing the property and renting it out “Airbnb” style since the building allows short term rentals.
