Are you doing butcher block, quartzite or masonite for counter tops?

I'd spend the money on quartz.You want to have a nice place so don't be afraid to spend where needed.I've heard horror stories of people putting in butcher block and people using it as a cutting board.

can't" usually means there's something they don't know or is not being creative enough, I'll plant a seed that I received from my CPA that I won't butcher because I'm not a CPA.

As for the single family house I have no choice but to sell it since I am stupid enough to fell for a pig butchering scam.

Many houses like this in the city have been pretty badly butchered in the past to split them into 6 studios, but this one hasn't.

@David Butcher Buying a property in ch 13 means they filed to keep the house while in foreclosure.

They sell the investor aspects that make the home higher than regular market value in many cases :)   It is pathetic to see non vacation rental realtors butcher good listings. 

Warren Buffett has a great quote that I am going to butcher right now, but effectively he said something along the lines of: successful people make a list of the top 10 things they want to do/accomplish and rank them in order 1-10. 

It takes a lot of preparation - from the farmer to the butcher to the marinade. 

Wanted to shout out to @James Wilcox that I made to Jeptha Creed and picked a bottle of Bloody Butcher Corn.
