I totally understand the burning desire you have to assemble a portfolio and make your mark.  

I think the point is being missed...it's not that a Spreadsheet is bad in an of itself, it's the fact that many people don't understand the inputs, results and the whys behind it for the most part, You can make a spreadsheet read whatever you want to directly or indirectly.I'd be much more attuned to those like @Triston Murray who understood or figured out the whys and whats and then assembled a spreadsheet to help him quantify his analysis vs using a pre-formatted fancy spreadsheet and know nothing about the whys or whats.

It sounds like this company cuts costs everywhere....and the sales are like moving through an assembly line.  

@Dev Horn - your point is spot on, however the original post had more to do with how to collect and assemble the data.Everyone (thinks) they want an easy to access list, for free.

Smaller parcels pad ready are easier to move versus assembling land owners to push through a large development project.

So you end up wedging or replacing with smaller cabinets that ends up with some awkward spaces.2) The labor to assemble and install the IKEA stuff is more than a custom cabinet solution so our labor costs went up to compensate for the complexity.3) You frequently end up with missing parts or a busted corner on some of your pieces which requires returns.4) #2 and #3 extend the time it takes to install your cabinets. 

I'm not sure how long this will take since it will be my first time doing it.Tuesday - Create a probate letter.Fri/Sat - Assemble mailingsI'm leaving myself some free time since it is Thanksgiving week and family will be around.

If it's my money and I am not going to tie it up until the end of time and then go through the torture of getting it back.When I worked for a developer assembling land for commercial projects the buyers attorney or buyer would ALWAYS hold the earnest money or a neutral third party would.

The first step would be to assemble your "power" team(if you have not done so yet).

@Kristen WallJust my personal opinion : It was not the local REIA club, but biggerpockets networkingFYI - Local REIA clubs here our great place to network and learnHands on learning :~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I have not mention anything to Dawn yet, but I have communicatedwith a few local biggerpockets members here regarding what I have observed as great team work.Through biggerpockets : I believe here in Milwaukee / Waukesha counties a great team could be assembly between Kay, Orlando, Brian, and possibly Dawn.
