I also wouldn't be where I am today in terms of my contacts and relationships with vendors, to be in a position to self-manage confidently out of state.All that being said, if another deal with the same amount of hair on it presented itself to me today, I would pass simply because my risk profile has changed.

Not sure, but the way it was presented it seems like you were putting these two approaches in similar buckets. 

A lot has calmed down lately, it seems.I agree that Cape Coral still presents a large potential for upside in the long-term!

I'd like to present an idea that is palatable to them but best for me and my builder.
