Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

I do allow TVs to be mounted to the wall and just have the anchor holes filled in when they move out It really is just a personal preference and what you want to allow in your units.

I've seen up to 85% LTC for an experienced builder who has done personal projects.

The peel and stick wallpaper isn’t the best quality.

Reasonably priced good quality stuff, or good deals on nice (but not that nice) things are the way to go.

You said you live in the house, so if it is for personal use only, that might play into the decision, and/or if you have a lot of room in the deal financially and have enough to pay for the higher priced, possibly better GC, that might be part of the decision also.In my experience, higher price doesn't always mean "better," but may mean more attentive and experienced and more and/or better resources (like better sub's, etc). 

A great way to network and meet people in your local community is to attend in person meet ups.

I'd personally go to St.
