I am currently building 3 spec houses.

I too look for these...an ugly house on a nice lot, I build one spec home per year.....but I never thought of buying today the scraper for 5 yrs from now.S

My one option is to rent my current spec homes and sell when the market turns around.

I was going to build a spec home.

Setting new vanity in bathrooms is $75 Then we have something called the standard spec which is $1.25 a square foot.  

. - handled the entire transaction over the phone which Lowe’s would not do (they required me to sign something in person)- comparable prices with better customer service- emailed me the quotes and specs of all appliances - removed my old appliances for a reasonable fee- I’m supporting local small business like myself not some CEOs multi million dollar bonus. 

I would take a look at actual rents in the area comparing specs to your perspective property.

he got almost everything wrong, he should use a professional GC/contractor/handyman to spec and price the job.

Hello, I am looking for a calculator for a spec house project to present to investors and lenders.

Obviously, you will be lost without a working knowledge your probate laws concerning sale of real estate.Alternatively, once you know what info you want from each file, you can either train someone to pull the info (custom, to your specs) or perhaps find a local researcher who already pulls much of the same data for other clients (which may include credit companies, heir finders, etc.).More and more jurisdictions are providing online access to cases, however I'm not aware of any (yet) that make data concerning PR's and heirs' addresses available (for privacy reasons, no doubt).I used commercial, professional probate researches on and off for about twenty years and have come to this conclusion: it's never as good as data that you've pulled yourself but it's certainly a better use of my time.Irrespective of the methods or strategies that you employ to pull data, you will also need a way to store and retrieve the info on your end as well know what to say when talking to a personal rep.I called on a yellow letter that I received as a PR (admin) once and the sender was totally unprepared for my call.
