I am an Accounting major with 3 semesters left at UVU, I have many cousins, Aunts/Uncles, grand parents, and parents who all do real estate (mostly buy and hold in Provo/Orem).

Account Closed You obviously have never read a standard purchase contract.

Hi James --  Rarely do "cash" buyers have cash sitting around in their savings account -- in my market you would generally have to have a few hundred thousands which isn't going to happen. 

As for the hiring of professionals such as Architects and Designers...some are narcissistic and don't take their client's wishes and lifestyle into account while other times the fault is the micromanagement of the homeowner.
