My one friend lives outside the flood zone right on Main street & he got a foot of water in his newly done basement with Hurricane Irene the year before Sandy.

I also found differences in the quotes I got, and the low was about $3/square foot.

@Eduardo Moreno Hey Eduardo, I would recommend going to a RICH Club or Wealth Club "newbie" meeting to get your foot in the door with one or both of those organizations.

@Edita D.The last I heard expect $2,500 for every foot below the flood plain.

Brant, bingo!

When I was very young, all I needed were basic tools: screwdriver, pliers and a hammer.By the time I was working on Ferraris I needed a six foot high cabinet with multiple drawers, each with their own specialized or customized tools designed for a specific task.Tools are expensive and require an education just to learn how to use them correctly.

This puts you around $1,200 additional dollars.A 1,200 square foot house, exterior paint and interior paint, should run about $2,000.This brings your initial cash outlay to $20,000 (on the conservative side; not including Air Conditioners) This brings your ROI to 6.2%.2) You definitely want to pay for what the investment is bringing in, not on its potential.

I just found a short sale, 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 720 square foot house in Riviera Beach, FL (just north of West Palm Beach), listed at $15,000.

You've already said that you have someone to do your addition for $100-120 per square foot, but you believe your framer that you can build an entire new house (including demo, permits, engineering, surveying, etc) for $100 per square foot.

I'll let you know how "round 2" goes - I'd like to spend more time on the computer ...there were like 4 lawyers tapping there foot behind me waiting to use it :-)
