But my breadth and depth of understanding improved greatly for many areas of my life. 

I can make a guess, but we can take it to private messages to go really in-depth if you want.

Of course, you have to do all a very in-depth due diligence yourself and and pick the company that fits your needs the best.

When I was in Ohio, all of our meters were in basements to prevent freezing, since the meter box would need to be a significant depth if it were outside.

The question now this the depth...and stagflation. 

I'm not very familiar with the gulf coast, & Alabama has a funny bee law (no migratory/commercial beekeepers, basically) but if you were on the Florida side of the border- with a similar piece of property, you might well consider commercial beekeepers. 

We are seeing a migratory shift on where populations choose to live. 

Market Research: Evaluate prospective markets in-depth.

My greatest question is why does, say a Jiffy Lube mechanic, believe after reading A book (ok, let's be honest, the back cover summary of the book) and with that "depth of knowledge" is now an expert in all things real estate, economics etc??

They do an in depth inspection of the property (which isnt cheap, but gets discounted from total if you use them) and spend about a day at the property then offer you 3 or 4 options with specific pricing that is binding for them so they can't upcharge you dyring the job unless you ask for additional work.I liked that method because I have heard alot of stories of contractors giving quotes for K&T based on a brief look at the property, but then run into surprises throughout the job and have to upcharge.
