I've heard that Lowes was designed for women.

Hello every one i'm a investor who is just kind of feeling things out in my area. i'm in buffalo new york, but I was wondering for the design aspectin the rehab is there any CAD program that is better and/or enexpensive.

The only advice I have is to make sure to design your campaigns so that you can track where your responses are coming from.

Our designer did some things differently in this house than in our other houses, having proclaimed that she was going to sell the house to a woman.

My understanding is these transfer to the designated POD person without any tax implications.

How will you make spending decisions or design decisions?

Use your extra equity early on to get more units, then closer to retirement concentrate on reducing debt.

I give free estimates , I dont give free designs , I dont spend hours on a bid from people that are so vague , or who are unrealistic .

The Seller Carry definitely sounds like the best solution for you.Here's the thing, if he just wants a monthly paycheck and he has penciled out what he wants for the next 10-30years off the property it becomes easy for you to design a great seller carry situation.

Absolutely agreed...in fact, we tried out best to design the house in a way that would maximize appraisal while reducing building costs...mostly by playing around with the above grade versus the below grade square footage and finishing just enough of the basement to get appraisal credit.The question was more from a "what do lay-people generally mean when they say/hear square footage" standpoint...or even what do builders mean when they use the term.I'm fairly certain there's no "right" answer...everyone will have their own opinion...I'm just trying to form mine... :-)
