For example, a lot of people want to know how much it will cost to build before they commit to the process, but without committing to finding a piece of land and getting some drawings put together, it's impossible to get an accurate building estimate.

They will know a few places where you can get a good deal.Regarding cost, the part I under-estimated for flooring was all the other stuff besides the floor - underlay, quarter round, transition pieces, and so on.

So many people overlook these two crucial pieces and it bites them later, usually when they go to sell.

Its also a lighter gauge material & on the install they did crack one piece so I would assume it's prone to stress cracking.Also be wary of the lighter gauge granite from China it is very prone to cracking & will surface scratch easily.We have Granite throughout our kitchen & house (14 years now) & it takes an amazing amount of abuse.

I do though recommend them to all my clients for their piece of mind and to help possibly save me any issues down the road.

Best piece of information I've read in the 5 hours that I've been reading!

For the most part, I have enough market data to put together a decent business case for making the investment (land values, rental data, local re estate market, etc) The one piece I'm missing is the cost of building the new building to spec.

I've been working at it for three months and have sent out over 3000 pieces of mail.

I'm sure there is a real estate school there for real estate agents, you might consider starting there, not saying take the exam for the license but the material presented will put you months (maybe longer) ahead of trying to dig out information piece by piece or from any guru stuff.

I would find the most prime piece of commercial revenue generating property that I could find, that would be fulfilling a dream to own, and then I would contact someone [RMOVED] that would use that mildo you have to invest as your skin in the game and then exponentially increase your leverage by bringing in their private equity capital dollars to fund the deal of your dreams.
