They bounce.. and that is a GOOD THING!!!

I was so excited when I bought the property and while I am now discouraged about the state of things, but I know I can bounce back!

What you're aiming for is around $160 / sq ft (FYI it's so much easier if you either stick to sq ft numbers OR total cost numbers, but bouncing around like that makes it a bit difficult to follow, especially when you're talking in ranges.) $160 / sq ft seems reasonable IF you were GC'ing the project yourself, but it doesn't seem like there could possibly be much room in there for a GC to make a decent profit.

I'd be happy to connect if you'd like to bounce ideas around. 

(Currently practices are bouncing between venues).

Be careful of responses to your posts as 1) Most responders aren't licensed experts 2) many of them will share what has worked for them, which may or may not be legal or the "best" way or the way that will work for you.We manage almost 700 doors in Detroit and the tri-county area, so bounce stuff off us as needed:)

I gew up in Newburyport and now bounce between Seaport and Charlotte, NC. 

I'm looking to find a group to bounce ideas, deals and knowledge off.

Normally Turbo Tax shows you how each line entry affects your tax return, numbers on top of the screen bouncing up and down. 

Taking them to court or filing with a collection agency won't phase them because their credit is already in the tank.If you decide to move forward, make sure they pay with certified funds so nothing can bounce.
