She agreed and we added some modern updated to a classic brick Dundee home.

Quartz countertops, navy & white cabinets, classic subway tile & farmhouse sink- Master Bathroom: Walk-in tiled shower w/ glass pane & gold shower system, double vanity w/ quartz top- Living Room: new front door w/ huge overhead window adds natural light from the front; bamboo engineered hardwood floors are a focal point, but they cover the entire 1st floor & the white-washed cedar accent wall really brings the rustic charm to another level.What was the outcome?

If you are an owner or real estate investor yourself, you of course can appreciate the value of having transparency into material costs, including but not limited to:#1: You get to see where materials are from (sometimes tells you something about their quality, whether or not they're stolen or re-purposed, and of course, if the angel of a contractor is not marking them up 200%+)#2: You get to negotiate on what's SUPPOSED to be the 'value-add' of what a contractor is offering: their time and supposed experience/skill-set. 

Classic rich dad/poor dad lesson.

No.The desire to be seen as an individual I would say is an American desire that is rooted in our cultures history with classical liberalism.

@Sandel Ariste Here is my "starting up" collection:Read http://greeneincome.com/index....Read Dave Ramsey book "The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness." and complete the baby steps there.Read Scott Trench’s book “Set for Life.”Finish the school and get your degree - you'll need it later, especially if it's business management.Get a job first where you have W2 income.

"next gen" is the term Lennar uses, which is a major builder in this area putting up a lot of new development.River Village, The Classics, Capri, and Mosaic are some communities where Lennar has built Next Gen models (not saying there are any for sale right now), so maybe a search for those will turn something up - or more likely working with a good local realtor that knows how to find what you're looking for.ref: https://valencia.com/13-new-home-neighborhoods-now-selling/This one's not currently for sale, but it's a listing that specifies "Next Gen" and may help you:https://www.trulia.com/p/ca/valencia/28877-silversmith-dr-valencia-ca-91354--2078579125Good luck in your search!

I’ve heard and read lots about the classic BRRR real estate investing method.

Written by a relatively young guy with young people in mind.The Richest Man In Babylon—something different, but this is a classic.
