Retirement from those endeavors comes when you train someone to take over and buy your business.. 

Best wishes on the endeavor. :)

There is a learning curve like any new endeavor & sometimes you simply don't know what you don't know.  

Or we'll need to cut the foundation and install a 10x10 post to help support the ridge of the roof..The point is everything takes time, and the more you get into a transformation the more likely you're to reveal other elements that while you're doing it you should fix now. - Somewhat contradictory to the above advice, but take your time.

Im planning for 200k Hard costs on a $1.5 ppTeam/Planning/ConstructionI want to avoid having to acquire permits as much as possible to transform a 2 fam to a 3 fam.

Thanks Brandon for all your encouragements that certainly transformed so much lives.

Best of luck in your endeavors! 

Wish you the best of luck in future endeavors!

Three hours was suggested as the typical install time, but it took me 16 hours -largely because of the complication of our multiple panels and also because I redesigned the circuit transformer layout several times as I learned what was possible and was not.We are also experimenting with www.Sense.com ($300). 

You also need to check with the utility companies and get cost estimates from them for availability, fees, hookup charges, transformer and power line/power pole locations or relocation requirements, water, sewer,gas, cable etc You will need ball park cost estimates from site work contractors for site work, roads, installation of utility lines etc.This is just a broad high level run down of the process but should give you some things to start with and think about.
