Land value there has multiplied many times over ever since becoming a shipping and financial hub in southeast Asia.

I have looked into modular homes but I am finding that all the other fees (site prep, shipping, finishing, etc) on top of the price of the house isn't much different than a traditional build.

We are a scrappy startup development duo, looking for a good cpa/accountant to help us tighten our ship.

They can't tell me why, in fact the first 2 (that started all this) they didn't even know where they shipped it. 

You run a professional ship. 

My concern is that he starts to look at the numbers (before, during, or after) and realizes he isn't really making any money for all the work involved and jumps ship leaving you holding the bag. 

I've arranged for my PM to take a smaller percentage since I'm still the one handling bookings, doing small maintenance and keeping up with supply inventory.A better example is the service I get from my housekeeper at my new rental in Tennessee: she does the post-stay walk-through, cleans, and provides or maintains the inventory of supplies (she provides quite a bit: trash bags, toilet paper, basic toiletries, dishwashing soap, hand soap; the things I provide, she'll let me know when supplies are low, and I'll have new items shipped to her house).  

Sam's TowelsI'll check in to Julie's JCPenny gag but for me, being able to ship quickly and inexpensively to my cleaners  is a big part of it since my properties are 4 hours each way and I have 5 of them which each need 3 sets of towels so my truck would constantly be filled with towels.

I look for a refurbished higher end brand from a local dealer.If they don't have what I am looking for in stock, and I have to buy new, I buy Frigidaire from Goedeker's as they include good warranties and you get free shipping, and no tax

I think of the salty, old chief petty officer who was the boatswain in my first ship.
