I also enjoy designing people's homes mainly friends and family and I love renovation projects! 

I have posed this question to them “Are you people going broke ?”

Above $150k is also tough because there are only so many areas that will command price points $200k+ and only so much demand from end buyers.That said, I know people that do it and do well with it.

I not only joined this site for the knowledge, but in hopes to find a community of like minded people that are interested in helping others to grow.

Well, regardless of experience, people are going to assume younger people are not as qualified, skilled or yes, even experienced (haha, I know it is goofy!).

People expect more. 

Wasn't sure what to expect posting this thread and real glad to see people dropping their input. 

I work with people to sponsor deals with them through syndications (and even JV's at times) and have a Multifamily Accelerator (link above) to teach and work with people on their deals.

The other issue is the time and energy it takes to sort this out if you end up being reassessed (some people never have it happen.)  

It always intrigue me that people are willing to do house hacks without an ADU or an additional living unit.
