I think it would be something you would have to build up slowly and I think giving accurate cost projections and timelines would be the key to success.

One thing I missed during the buying process was the fence did not accurately reflect the property boundaries and it turns out the neighbor owns some of the property enclosed within my fence (area in question in red, fence in green).

I'm also hoping to get advice as to getting accurate rehab estimates, protecting my contract from buyers going around me and anything else anyone with experience thinks is pertinent.

What's cool is you can take the mockup Cliq gives you with the measurements on it to the local guy to get an accurate quote fairly quickly.The Cliq cabinets come fully assembled and are solid wood soft close.

I want to make sure the numbers I have in my pro forma are as accurate as possible before moving forward.
