I do have a third goal, but too much will happen by the time my second goal materializes that my third goal will likely change drastically.Also, I tend to find myself wanting to ask market-specific questions to agents/lenders/investors/contractors/etc. a lot.

Sales Tax Breaks: Construction materials and services may be subject to lower tribal sales taxes—or exempt altogether.4.

When I first got started I didn't officially join any coaching programs, but I did buy the materials at mobile home university.

I'm going off the understanding that you still need to spend 500+ hours in the business to achieve material participation (please correct me if I'm wrong). 

The changes that have occurred in the past year is making sure the comps are truly there, getting the material costs down (or accurate) number with changes all the time on costs. 3.

The place where you can add value with no money is a situation like: you find project A, it is a 120k purchase and it should need 80k rehab but you can get rehab done for 65k cause you can do some of the work and you know how to save on materials and you can manage the rehab. 

Materials will be about the same, but labor may vary greatly on location.

Learning how to use the correct tools and materials for a job, YouTube videos and even ChatGPT will help you get through 80% of the problems you will run into.My rule was I would not mess with HVAC, plumbing and electrical Or if it would take more than a few hours. 

While the cost can vary depending on the scope, zoning, and materials, I’ve seen similar projects run anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000, depending on factors like plumbing, electrical upgrades, and structural work.If you’d like, I can connect you with a few contractors or architects in Chicago who specialize in basement conversions.

. $50k sounds like a lot to you but with the price of materials and of qualified labor, it does not go too far.
