I new the other material so well that I knew missing 5 math questions was no biggee... same with section and range questions..

The bathroom floor and part of the subfloor in the hall and kitchen would have to come-up; the wall between the bathroom and hallway and across the end of the hall would be going back to the studs; the common wall between this apartment and the adjacent unit would need to be brought up to current {fire} code; the ductwork for the HRV needed to be replaced; and three of the existing windows had broken thermo panes.We also planned to improve the energy efficiency of much of the envelope during this renovation - the amount would depend upon what we found behind the drywall.What we found:The damage to the subfloor on both levels was more extensive than forecasted and I wasted two weeks, and a few hundred dollars in materials, over the holidays in December trying to remove the smell of pet urine (ozone, enzymes, sealant, etc).  

This is really happening." moment.I'm a professional interior designer; I spend my days creating floor plans, material palettes, and custom fixtures for retail prototype stores.

@Jeff MikosYes, you have to take the class even if you have the materials or knowledge. 90 hours total, at least 15 of which need to be interactive (via Webinar or in person).I took my education through Chicago Real Estate School.

These are primarily our seller credibility brochure but being a tri-fold I thought I could mail them as well and see how that works.The dilemma is that I did not give adequate consideration to the disclosure requirement to disclose my wife's real estate license in the marketing materials.

I will try to stay engage with others as well and not only focus on the material.

Ask a plumber, they will usually say a crapper is a crapper, basically.You can find all kinds of stuff on CL, but what is there isn't a reliable source for materials, you just luck out or get screwed.Box stores fit the bill for most materials for most homes.

I believe Michael Quarles posted some brilliant material. 

My advice with books is to read the ones that are recommended at the end of the podcasts, and to be willing to pay money for the material.  

Thinking about offering time + material as investment and getting a percentage of the profit (15%) in return with a minimum matching the investment.
