Everything was way below construction costs and hard to resist.

How could I resist...

I just couldn't resist posting here when I saw that I would be the first one to come along.  

I'm not saying it's impossible but not reasonable and not something that I concern myself with.As posted earlier in the thread, this market is very recession resistant and values didn't take a large hit during 2008.And at the end of the day, if we really do see a serious correction, I'll start a "Buying 20 houses this year" thread and take advantage of the sale.  

If this is to be your forever house, you may want to look at fibreglass framed windows as they provide a better thermal barrier and resist deformation a lot longer than vinyl ... the trade off is they are rather more expensive and the most experience manufactures {of whom I am aware} are located in Canada or Europe ... though I'm sure there must be manufacturers in the U.S.A.Another general guideline is to use as many fixed windows as possible ... they are cheaper and more energy efficient.Where an operable window is required, casement/awning/hopper windows are far more energy efficient than single or double hung and sliders are at the bottom of the heap.If you take your plans and lot orientation to a fenestration specialist, they will conduct a solar profile of the property and can recommend window and door configurations for each face.  

Can you charge for replacing the carpets in certain rooms (spots or smell) without running into "it's normal wear and tear" resistance?

Retirement-account friendly: Mobile home park fund investments can be a great fit for tax deferred retirement accounts because they are resistant to recessions and have stable cash flow.

I can't imagine how fogging would work: some of the (toxic) molds are resistant to extremes of temperatures.

If you put up some resistance, the bad element will migrate to a spot with less resistance.

>>Hassan,I don't understand your resistance to knowing your real numbers including all costs and your own time.
