It’s all the transient foot traffic up and down our street that has created pause.

We pull guidelines using these stakes and I tell my fence contractor to stay a foot or so inside the line.

But you will never fully get a feel for it, unless you actually step foot into that neighborhood. 

I built high-end custom modular (e.g. stick built in a factory and shipped) for a significantly cheaper cost per sq foot than it would have cost to build with a local builder.

I know labor costs are cheaper in the south than what they are where I am at in the NW.... see what they charge on average per sq/foot to build.A couple positive aspects to new builds that are often over looked are very low capital expenditures for a 10-15 year time period after the build.

$400 a foot for a custom house. $500 for 1.3 million sale.

.💼 We're all about putting our best foot forward in our careers, but let's be honest: burnout is real, and it can really mess with our heads.🎨 That's where hobbies come in clutch!

You can invest in class D areas that on paper will show a high IRR of 20% but I would not touch it with a ten foot pole, but in same breath I would consider a 10% IRR where there is no leverage and low investment to value.

Half a foot of standing water?

House-hacking is one of the best ways to get your foot in the door of investing.
