I'm developing land in Redding, CA. 21 homes total, and wondering if anyone has advice or connections on getting the best deals on materials, appliances, things like fireplaces, ceiling fans, basically anything and everything that goes into a house.Looking to use a little hustle to build these houses piece by piece, getting great deals while keeping our style intact.Looking forward to any help I can get!

If a sellers agent is aware of any material defect, they most certainly DO have to tell a buyer, even if the seller directs them not to disclose. 

I learned the hard way that two heads are better than one, and I've been looking for a partner but none has materialized.

Same document sheds light on your other thread in re:"In dealing with the buyer, a seller's agent should (a) exercise reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent's duties; (b) deal honestly, fairly and in good faith; and (c) disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property, except as otherwise provided by law."

Great material! 

We hope to put them to work for us in exchange for free trips to Hawaii to hang out with their family.Can anyone suggest reading material for a tear down/rebuild?

I can easily vent it to the outside now using rigid metal duct.

You should have joined all 3 simultaneously when you went to the local board in person.Membership should be immediate after you pay all the yearly dues and fees and you will start receiving materials from the National and State boards in the next few days and weeks.

Oil, precious metals?

What say does a little investor have in any of this or other materially significant decisions?
