The drawers are soft close and come standard.I think all in all for the money the Ikea cupboards are so easy to install and work very well.

The laminate is pretty soft (came with the house) and in most of the length it's just a depression and then maybe a 2 foot section is an actual scratch.

Hard head makes a soft butt take this free advice and run

@Reid Matthews  I would have to disagree about the market being soft right now. 

I know the market is a bit soft right now, but are you still optimistic about the area?

hard money, soft money ,  JVs , it's all in how you define it. 

Work on getting the soft commitments, understanding the investor requirements and/or underwriting will make things run smoother when it's actually time to present your deal.  

Per zoning code)Can be done as a carry back for the land purchase and all cash for the guest house construction.Market value once complete = $600k (similar home lots are going for $700k+ so this is a conservative estimate)Apply for a cash out conventional bank loan.Use the cash out to build the main house.Main House = $200k (3+BR/2.5BA - approx. 1,800 s.f.)Live in the main house and rent out the guest house for cash flow to help out with the mortgage payments)Build some equity, savings, and give some time for possible appreciation.Build a second main house = $150k (3BR/2BA) 1,500 s.f.Sell off 1/3 acre with second main house on it = $550kOriginal investment = $360k + $75 k + $200k + $150 k = $785kSelling of second main house = $550kResults in 2/3 acre with a 3+BR/2.5BA main house plus a income property for only $235kI know this is all big picture stuff and is not including loan fees, RE fees, and other soft costs.The reason the construction prices are low is that I am a architect/builder who will self GC the projects.I am looking for any feedback on this deal and possible problems that I am missing.I have not done a deal this big before and am looking for some experienced advice.Thank you for your time.Locus

Feather the nest but, don't make it to soft for renters. 

One thing I heard a few times is there are so many new developments in areas such as the Carolina's that the rental market can get soft fast.
