You keep saying they should have monitored it and minimized extra costs.

I think it's going to be location specific for sure; where I am very few people hang out in the house all day long as they are usually busy hitting the parks and attractions. 

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

If you haven’t already, I’d scope out the municipalities around town.. from what I read in The Economist, the Phoenix metropo area continues to rank high for job growth, which usually bodes well for new builds.

Lock away extra supplies; trust is great, but accidents (or curious kids) happen.

Windows would be my next check-point (less than R1) and then wall insulation: I would not be surprised if they have no insulation inside, but you can do blow-in, which only requires a small hole.A home looses heat in two ways: heat conduction (which you can slow down with insulation) and drafts, which in old houses is usually the biggest culprit.

This is interesting and I look forward to the feedback.But, I don't know if I want extra buoyancy in a hot tub?
