Before contracting on the lot, you should check with the local municipality to verify building requirements, current code requirements, list of required documents, surveys, soil tests, engineered plans, etc.Once you have identified your lot and finalized your estimate its time to build.You or your GC will get the permits.For the final build, there are 2 ways to build, as either a cost plus, or fixed price project.Hope this helps, let me know if you have additional questions.

The Auction Preparation Workshop (somewhere around $250 for three days at a hotel in FL and offered after you purchase the training) was pitched as an intense learning experience. 

Hehe, I just tested in on our lake house.

This year we've used 1 of our furnished rentals for my wife's clients who travel into town for weekend intensives.

Absolutely I would not spend $$ on a cookbook, not everyone cooks, and it will likely just go in the trash.Also, the first few months are when tenants are in the testing phase, so this isn't the time to show them you are a softy, it's the time to go strictly by the lease, and this is a professional relationship. 

I learned how to handle minor house projects while husband was working, saved tons off hiring people for minor but labor intensive projects like painting, window screening, changing locks, etc.

The noise from upstairs is annoying so next time I'd do more testing of the quality of soundproofing in the ceiling (older home so wasn't as good).

Although there are technically 7 ways to pass this test, usually only two of them are useful in the STR context:A.

WA, for example, requires that you take 20 hours of state-sponsored classes and pass a state-sponsored test.
