@Josh Richter, I have a friend who bought a new craftsman 2 years ago on 13th ave in the area below Tropicana field between MLK and 4th. 

@Grant Liddle I have been in a situation like yours before; had a great finish carpenter restoring my 1921 craftsman who happened to have a little drinking problem.

But...the chances are too small for a real craftsman to roll the dice. 

Yes I worked with Koal Benson at Elite Realty and Arkansas Craftsman was my contractor.

I made some financial mistakes within the first few years and then the crash of 2008 happened, not only taxing my day job income (self-employed tile and marble craftsman) but hitting the tenants also.
