I built (literally bolted and nailed it together myself) my own Geodesic Dome home in the late 80's and learned about purchasing land, getting the owner to carry the loan, getting construction loans and converting them both to conventional loans.

By the time most of what I'm working on now is public knowledge, I think many people I know will be stunned, and surprised I didn't post it all on facebook.

I was stunned when he told me perhaps over $1 million.

Just rip it out and patch the drywall and install a new dome light that can be changed out when needed.

I feel that having excellent credit doesn't do me any good without cash.

I'm stunned he could get it done that quick.My sister, who's living in a rental, OTOH, is without heat for a week, despite several attempts to get the heat fixed.

The only other thing I'm iffy about in this house is the finished attic bedroom (does have a closet up there), there is a large dome shaped skylight window.

The house was a stunning example of a bygone era, and under $500k.

I am looking for someone more local to me to bounce my questions off of, and it can be via email, because the person who I have learned some from is out in CA and I am not sure if it the age difference; the market difference; the experience difference or dome other thing altogether causing problems but he has me at a point where I am constantly confused about real estate.His constantly looking for the next way to make cash always kills whatever current project he mentors me on, and it makes me wonder if I am just not getting things.

This is stunning!
