@Don Owens My 9-5 job revolves around Indiana water regulation and well installation.

If you can buy all your kitchen appliances at once and ask for an extra discount or at least free delivery & installation, that's great too.

As of December 2024, the average cost to install a solar panel system in California is $2.31 per watt, including installation. 

I got a quote for 8K sft retail from a construction company for around $120/sft, this includes site prep, utilities, metal building erection, exterior finishes, interior insulation etc (basically build the shell from scratch).

Just a heads up: Windows Defender, the basic one installed on your personal computer, is good enough for personal usage.

Next is install impact.

All the water from the crown of the road floods onto my property and I was informed its illegal to discharge water onto anothers property and that the engineers could apply pressure to the city to have curb and gutter installed.

I have inexpensive but nice looking wood beds with separate heavy duty Zinus metal frames dropped in instead of the wood slats that came with them.

Our all in construction was $360k (If we had to do it again, we wouldn't spend the $10k to install the fence where we always do for our other investment properties.

Also consider your lifestyle and if you want to be traveling 3 days just to check to see if a water heater is installed correctly and your property manager is looking after your property.
