It is the most invasive of all home improvements, 2nd to maybe termites which I dealt with too!

I sort of end up on excel at the end of the year importing statements and trying to categorize expenses, improvements, etc.

But with construction costs skyrocketing and considering how every good contractor is booked for 6 months, you'll end up getting quotes closer to $250-300/sqft.Generally it is not a good practice to estimate the ENTIRE project based on price/sqft, as some items are way more expensive than others, but you asked for a "general" ballpark.

If there is an option to take practice tests online or in person definitely take advantage. 

It seems as if the citizens and the police department are making strong improvements to improve safety.

Its just as necessary for partially improved land as for a fully developed property. 

From what I see and read, I don't think there is a loan that would allow me to do this, so I am thinking I have to get creative, Unless I am unaware of an option out there... but any advice is appreciated :)I am aiming to buy a house in the Atlanta area that I can improve/fix up to increase the value, but instead of selling it quickly as a flip, I would like to live in it!

As used herein, "permanent improvements" shall include, but not be limited to, all repairs, improvements, and equipment attached to the property as fixtures.

Just keep hammering practice questions.
