Are we headed for a sharp increase in purchase prices?

As an example, workers were happy making less just 20 some odd years ago when they had good benefits (health care coverage, retirement), but now all of those have been taken away, and they feel the pain from that.

It took longer than expected, because they were a pain to cut and it was my contractor's first building this big with them.

I grew up in Coal Center PA in an area where it seemed like everyone's parents had black lung disease.

Steve, you're right, longer redemption periods increase the pain at the end.

How much should I try to make to offset the pain of the HOA?

A lease option after an installment purchase does the same thing and has less pain at the end buyer's side.

Those items are still being addressed and will be for some time.The fact remains that there is still room for investment and development in this boom, you just need to have a pretty sharp pencil.

I hadn't through about ceiling fans being a pain in the butt.Showerhead and sink sprayers are a huge remove item.

You seem like a sharp guy and you're definitely off to a great start.
