Once you have that value in mind you need to calculate what how much it would take to get there so you can arrive at your fair value, which may not align with the seller so negotiation comes into play.

If I remember correctly, this is from Think and Grow Rich or How to win friends and Influence people, either way the quote has severed me well.It means when putting a plan together talk to all involved in the construction process, and I mean all, ask them what they think is the best way, most efficient, what needs to be completed before they arrive and then what is there time frame for completion.If each trade designs there task to be efficient, then by default the whole project becomes efficient.

Depending on when you arrive, I may have other meetups that I could direct you to.

Many travelers will bring their own shampoo, body wash and other toiletries, but they all appreciate that you provide something for them in case they forget something, arrive late at night or run out.

I think a good broker will respect that a signed LOI means the offer should not be shopped provided all parties reasonably work diligently and quickly to arrive at a signed agreement.

I'm not placing blame - I once bought a cabin sight-unseen, and when my sister arrived to take a look at it for me after I bought it, she was crying over the phone over what I had done. 

My goal is to have quicker construction times and potentially save on the materials/labor costs since most of the construction is done before the house arrives.

I'm unclear as to how that $50k added value was arrived at.

In an arrived neighborhood: maybe a single condo.

The good news is that very few spouses will ever say that they flat out just don't want passive income, the challenge is only in how you arrive at that destination within their risk tolerance.
