The units are much cheaper online then through your local supply company, but when I brought the online price to my local supply company, they were able to go back to the manufacture (LG), and got a cheaper price, almost matching the online price.

Though sometimes I wonder if it would be better in the long term if the last of the big manufacturers would just die and let the city redefine itself with a more stable and diverse economy (is this blasphemous?)

Hi Jered, Do you remember what manufacturer's sub-metering products you used? 

Also make sure you have several extra boxes because if they do get damaged it is really easy to pull them up and replace them but the manufacturer will discontinue the exact model and you have to replace it all. 

Extremely difficult to match trim pieces(especially stairs) if the manufacturer does not make a good quality one.Laminate Pros: Looks, huge 10"x80" planks for only $3/sqft.

I don't think you need to purchase a new vehicle, just one with low miles that is from a reliable manufacturer. 

Many other countries have 90% of their housing modular or manufactured.

If you want to stick to real estate, there was even a guy there that buys vacant land in California, builds these giant warehouses, and rents them to marijuana growers, distributors, manufactures, etc.

Unfortunately, we've turned a lot of our economy into a focus around cars, houses and finance by outsourcing our manufacturing.
