They have to translate it so that they can use the valuable knowledge for their own benefit.

Well, I have that deal; I'm just looking for guidance on translating the development aspects into a comprehensive plan, spreadsheet, and investment deck.Your support is greatly appreciated.Best regards,Sean Nugent

If your client base is a Tesla base, than heck yeah, it will not only directly translate into $'s but it's also a competitive advantage, at least that's what I am experiencing.

I think there is a big disconnect sometimes for new people between low cost and what that really translates into. 

We purchase our paint in 5-gallon containers (usually translates into 1 "free" gallon in every 5) and, since the colours do not change - repaints between tenants usually only require a single coat.

Which translates into a high demand for rentals.

On the other side of the coin, we have to charge more because we need to recoup our expenses, for us, the things I mentioned translates to 20k/year.

I grew up and C and below areas and I can tell you, the working class will tolerate more which translates to less work for the LL.

And time is a lot of money.Unlike local contractors who have dozens of projects at the same time and are not in a hurry, out of state builders are fully commited to the job and will eventually complete it in a shorter time, which may translate in greater profit for the investors.Another advantage i can see is that it widens your options when the workers you need are in limited supplies in your area.

So now lets move to scenario where your mortgage is $2,500 ; you rent two rooms for $1100 each, that translates to $300 mortgage in your end, but still -$800 gap from your number.
