If I wasn’t 95% done with another property and a little strapped for cash right now, I’d be offering them free April.

You're strapped.

It's not for the squeamish or the those that are cash strapped. $15-20k to move a decent home in.

Used Aberdeen Birch engineered hardwood from lumber liquidators (paid $1.56/sqft), installed on top of those standard underlayment mats, name is escaping be right now, big red roll for $.50/square ft.

@Jonathan Wheeler as far as the permit go, in this case there were two.Demo PermitAddition/Constructionthese two were separate, the second one was a little miss leading because we didn't add any addition but because it was a complete tear out we need a permit.The Demo permit was easy because it was mostly just the roof that was coming down, the whole inside was completely damaged so everything was gutted.The inspections weren't a problem at all, since the existing slab was there the only thing that got inspected where:FramingRoofingHVAC, Electrical & PlumbingInsulationDrywalland then off to the finish line to get Final Inspection.Oh, the only issue was the Water Heater Straps that we forgot to install, so got us a ding.But the rest was Cake.

I can use it now, but i have to keep the gates closed with a heavy duty tie down strap hehe. 

Yes, the closest laundry mat is far. 

I work with Investors who when strapped for cash do use a hard money lender, but unless you pay it off quickly, it can be a very costly proposition.

Strap a device to ones back, say a glider, and all of a sudden the front-yard-fool can "fly".
