Contractors and developers where building spec homes left and right and not waiting for someone to buy them first before building because they would get sold the second they where finished.

rate is not far out of spec.

Replace all old detectors or at least put a fresh battery in.

I replace old smoke detectors with the 10 year lithium battery ones that are built in. 

My father in law builds spec homes, so with the high price of $450-600k for a SF home in our area, we plan to build an average sized house, (+/-2200sqft) on a +/-1acre lot in the Fallbrook/Bonsall/Rainbow area for $450k or less (including land.)

I’m in the process of selling a lot for a spec home now and another for a double wide.  

Bottom line I could not have done it without my partners and the ability to borrow 10 plus million from my commercial bank for SPEC construction loans..  

My husband is a GC and years ago we would build spec houses.

Minimum $500K is what is recommended by cost segregation company Madison Spec. 

High achievers always move the goal line out anyway; so, tying your happiness to the end result rather than daily action can result in unhappiness along the way.Regarding real estate investing, add value...it speeds up the wealth building process. in the For What ever its worth category.. to me real estate is life.. its a life style.. there is no retirement.. not sure why folks get so worried about retirement.. you get your stable of whatever kind of real estate you want  sFR multi commercial  Notes  short term lending .. fix and flip  value add  MHP  storage spec building etc etc.. and you nurse them along and work with them until you pass through the pearly gates.. why retire even if you retire with rentals your still involved in some manner.. if I looked at real estate that way I retired at 18 when I started selling the stuff it was and is not a JOB to me its a lifestyle..
