Usually this is chosen over stick built due to timeframe involved (my team was able to put together a 3 story home in 1 day...basically, you leave home for work with no neighbor and a full fledged house is there when you get home) Onsite work to complete the inside usually takes 30-45 days in Florida.I will post a few pics of some projects I sold

Granite countertops can look like glass but still have pores that soak up water and will stain.

Expanding markets can be great but a well chosen investment in a stagnant market can be even better.Just my two cents.

But any well-chosen property -- say, with better views, better finishes or better features (or all three) -- should outperform the projection.

And maybe some of that Denver growth will spill over and give tailwinds to Colorado Springs (though it is doing just fine on its own accord).Disclaimer: I don't yet invest in Colorado Springs, but with analysis such as I have outlined above, I have chosen it as my target market.

There are those with no formal education, training or "advantage" that will be successful in their chosen endeavor, regardless of circumstances.

The best advice that helped me was when you get frustrated or tired of dealing with the problems associated with a path you've chosen, just remember that everyone has problems in life, in business, in relationships, etc., but if you can live most of your life choosing your own problems, you'll be much happier for it.

We have chosen someone one else, however."

@Anton IvanovTo clarify my comment and what I understood from @Jay Hinrichs this was "napkin math".........to see if you have initial interest before pulling out the big analysis guns and poring over details.I agree with you that you cannot rely on the rough estimate exclusively.

Sometimes I provide materials (tile and grout for tile jobs, shower valves/trim, vanities for plumbing jobs, etc) but that isn't necessarily to save money, it is to save time, so the items are chosen and ready for the contractor to install.
