I may be wrong here, but perhaps Buffet & company write the donation off at it's "market" value of $100,000 and the administration throws in some other tax breaks to them as well?

I know I'm late to the topic, but just in case anyone else has the same question, I'll go ahead and throw in my two cents.The Ozone purifier that Randy mentioned works great for my company.

another method is this call management company and ask them if they have problem customers they dont want and see if they will throw you a scrap or 2.

I'm just throwing it out there :DOr how about you employ your 2 other friends to do the construction if you trust them so you can have them involved, but just hold out on giving them the title of, "partner".

Lots of people throw away almost all mail that looks like 'marketing' without even opening it (I sure do).

Realizing that I'm throwing away valuable leads that I've done the work to obtain, I would like to work with a strong listing agent and obtain the referral commission which I understand is usually 20-30% of the selling agents gross commission.

That way you monetize on almost every lead instead of just throwing dollars into the garbage..

Growth is the unknown, my 04 purchase is underwater, my 97 purchase is paid off, throws off lots of cash, and is likely worth at least 3-4x purchase, far more if we condoed it.

Hope this helps.I've been doing a lot of research on this the past year, and this is what I've found (I could be wrong of course):Material prices aren't too much different around the country if you shop around for suppliers (there are differences in areas where shipping is more difficult and costly), and labor prices are surprisingly consistent (though there is a range of about 25-35%) if you ignore the high priced areas.Obviously, there will be regional differences in both labor and materials (especially in places where climate, soil and natural conditions impact building codes), but if you ignore places like NY, NJ, California, etc, you'll find that prices generally fall within 25-50%.I see you're in NJ, so you can probably throw the prices I mention out the window, but for a surprisingly large % of the country (especially between the coasts), prices will be pretty consistent within a 25-35% range.All that said, this is a topic I'm very interested in, and would love other data points, as I could be wrong
