that way @Steve Raymond and others may be able to bring you a deal, that you are actually interested to look at....Gerald, Are the rehab you do light,moderate or labor intensive?

I say pick 10,000 immigrant families that want to come to America to invest their money, minds, labor and place them in Detroit for example.

The plan now may be waiting on market changes building nicer homes than originally proposed.Lots of assumptions can be made.Best way to learn in the developing arena is 1. get with a developer and prostitute yourself with labor to hang around and learn or 2. do the same with a civil engineer that is active in developments.

Your shouldn't spend a whole lot on materials, most of your cost will be in labor.  

Rather than write the post myself, I've quoted Joe McCall from another post where he expressed my feelings perfectly.

His did not work out, and he believes the reason is that he did not have the ability to get quotes from multiple contractors and thus ended up with unnecessarily high labor cost.

You and he are partners, your contribution is labor and management.

It might just be my feeling on the subject but I tend to think most people do their own basements based on labor and all the costs of doing it legally.  

On the money I wanted to know if it will be for materials and labor, design, permits, engineering or ?
