Although the journey has been worth it, I've sacrificed quite a bit from a personal lifestyle perspective, relationships, etc.

I have two phones, one for business and one for personal.

Personally, I wouldn't open up a home that isn't in good repair, from a liability standpoint if nothing else.

It took new construction costs from $800-2500 down to $325 / SF and instead of 2 years it can be done in 8-12 months (design, permits, fabrication, shipping, and erection) depending on how much homeowners customized the standard plans. 

More like one person on the HOA is opposed.  

A person files for and get's whatever from of welfare.

I try not to let it get personal...there are some members that have been 'inappropriate' in the past, but I will still give them a vote if their post actually deserves it

Do you think they're worth the investment, or do most buyers still prefer in-person showings? 

I've personally found the bulk of my Chicago purchases off the MLS.
