I am fairly knowledgable on the issue myself and do not think this will take an incredible amount of heavy lifting, however, an expert in this area is one that will be important to me moving forward.Cam

Why turn to happy hour and use other vices as band-aids but rather share them with others so advice can be given and a weight can be lifted from your chest.My stories range from trying to appease all 8 heirs to a probate acquisition... to showing up in the early morning to a Buckhead rehab with the back door kicked in and all tools stolen... to having no contractors show up for a week due to a myriad of excuses... to finding a lien on the property due to a previous owner... to the joys of dealing with historic district supposed guidelines... to listing a property in 2016 and finding out 80% of the "cash offers" are from wholesalers and digging to figure out who is a real cash buyer.At the same time, the highs of listing and receiving a dozen cash offers within the first 48 hours is a rush that is hard to compare.  

When we lifted the foundation, the roof buckled in places. 

Repair/lifting of a sagging concrete porch and paint.

Also, consider SIP requires a large lot to be able to lay out all the pieces so they can put it together like a puzzle, and most residential lots just don't have the size to allow for this, which is the same issue with tilt up as well - both require space to layout the panels, and cranes to lift them into place.There is RS means which is the industry standard for cost estimating.  

Don't forget the Saudis also have a great incentive to keep selling oil at almost any price to prevent Iran from taking market share when Iranian production comes back online, thanks to the lifting of sanctions.  

Yes, I found that once we committed to real estate investment our frugality lifted to a new level.

Maybe you expand the contractor base, install a car lift, lease out the lift (include in your insurance policy) to mechanics & do-it yourselfers, etc?  

And we don't have any other money so I may just watch Netflix in 2015 and lift weights. 

I thought I had arrived and immediately sought a property management company to do the heavy lifting.
