Does anyone know where I can find someone that can tell me how much would it cost to build a pair of townhouses in the Houston Texas area?

I don't know how many windows you have but at HD they have vinyl shutters for $35/pair so for maybe $300 including install you could give the house some dimension.

Pair that with a RMS and you are good to go.

Since Oakland is so tenant friendly and we could be paired with our tenants for a long time, we want to (try to) get it right the first time!

I own two pair of jeans which I have aptly named "work" and "play".

Pair that with Florida usually being in a low season in the summer depending on the market.

So people say lead Sherpa but what are you pairing it with?

Thus, I prefer my investments of: - Stocks (Primarily available after-tax - i.e. outside of, not exclusively in 401ks and retirment vehicles)- Real Estate- Private businesses- Cash and equivalentsAs I generate more and more wealth, I should be able to then have options like: - Picking a great school district or sending children to private school- Investing in a full-time nanny or Au Pair- Sending them to the college of their choice- Traveling to foreign countries and providing a unique experience- Etc.

The key to these deals is finding out what the seller wants out of it, and pairing your needs for a win-win.  

Its a 2bd/2ba house paired with a duplex right down the road.
