The party in control of this state can and is doing anything it wants, that will cement their power for eternity.

Realtors and leasing agents are some of the most vulnerable workers out there for the simple reason that they’re exposed to situations that in any other sector would be considered dangerous or unacceptable: meeting strangers in vacant properties by themselves, collecting (often) cash payment on applications, walking strangers up/down stairs to areas of properties without windows or easy exit.

That is a local cement plant issue, not an across the board issue.  

Materials cost (cement board, insulation if an outside wall, trash bags, shower faucet fixture, etc).

(I'm currently quoted at $325 per SFT for a 2 story, 30K for architect and permit plans, and 30k extra for cement excavation.

They best properties are large ranch homes (no stairs) with 5-6 bedrooms.

The human brain is always in 100% support of it's host, so if you say you can't ___, your brain cements that as a fact, and places into subconsciousness that it is a fact that you can not, which reinforces your beliefs, and it becomes a spiral of a self-fulfilling prophecy. 

If a kid trips and breaks his or her arm, am I going to be blamed for a half inch raised lip in the cement?

@Mark Fries we have a winery near us that had the entire cement floor of their huge tasting room colored then epoxied with a clear coat to allow the colors to come through. 8 years & it still looks like new.

Had a 6 unit under contract last month actually with another BiggerPockets member would of been a cool deal but the stairs were totally shot and we broke contract.
