And although I agree with how gas prices will effect me,  I do not think it will be a deal breaker. what everyone here fails to see is that with a budget of lets say 1.4million and I sell the home for 2.2 million and I do that twice thats gross 1.6mil profit and we should get 2.3 million and lets say I can only sell for 1.9 million (look at the comps) my soft costs are 60k+85k closing +140k interest =285k I would still net 214k per house....My point is, so long as I get it built I should profit .

All bathrooms, and kitchens wiring circuits are updated with Romex wire.
