The are getting married later, want to be around social situations and close to friends (very close) But as soon as they settle down a little and the word "Baby" is uttered in the couples vocabulary it is off to "Burbs" My observation it is not the McMansions any longer.

Ahhhhhhh.I've got to say that I'm utterly terrified.

I remember three years ago I was doing a shower wall in a cold basement and troweling too-stiff tile mortar on the wall, an utter despair of the soul welling up in me, wondering how my life had come to this from what I imagined it would be when I was in college, when my parents celebrated every academic achievement with enormous pride.And I'm a big guy with a long history in DIY, an extensive family history in renovation.

What you heard was utter shock - and recollection - coming through. 

If I have a contract to represent that seller, I'm their fiduciary and the method described above is an utter violation of my obligations to the law and to that seller - and a very fast way to lose my real estate license.Second, unless I have an "Exclusive Right to Sell" contract with the seller, I cannot even put the property on MLS (per our MLS rules). 

Family members would have corner me and utter threats before I would include them in my investments.

It can often be comprised of people utterly unqualified to manage a community resulting in poorly maintained properties or severe fiscal mismanagement or both. 

Here is an example of exactly the type of building I want to build or at least very close to it: 2523 W Flournoy St.Now the really frustrating part to my real estate adventure so far is that I put on offer on a 2 unit building in Tri-Taylor that was utterly distressed and needed a complete gut.

These are words no “hub” ever wants to hear or utter.

I have real trouble believing anyone who is willing to utter the phase "soul challenge" with a straight face.
