Peter Lohmann’s newsletter is a solid source for staying on top of national trends; I’d recommend subscribing if you haven’t already.In Texas, I’ve noticed increased activity, especially in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Asking $600k and worth about $500k. 

But it might be a good idea to raise rates each year or so by $50 to $100 because it can communicate that you aren't completely checked out, and you value your property, your time, your investment.

Waste of time, huge room for error and zero reason for a customer to do this.....any Contractor worth his salt will have better pricing/quality/selection on the big stuff and will have guys on his crew that can do those dreaded 'parts runs' for the little stuff. 

We were paying a bookkeeper $450/month, plus the $90 QB subscription to do our books but I felt like we were still having to tell her how to categorize everything so it just didn't feel like we were getting our money's worth.

I do have a fairly high percentage of my net worth (35%) in the PPR fund. 

(You say it’s worth about $100k more than you’re paying so figure an extra $15k.)Maybe you’d be better off partnering with the parents unless they have zero interest?

Also turns out we had some important mail go there etc… so civil correspondence ended up worth it.
