I did not join at the Apprentice level and I'm not laying around sucking sour grapes either.The training you receive, even at the lower echelon is invaluable.

I just sold a spec, I built a house for my self last year and finished a spec this year, I bough the lots at tax sale, and I was the GC, HVAC, Tile, Flooring, Cabinet, Painter, and Misc. guy, made a nice profit, but the crappy part is taxes, its like a flip, short term gains. good luck!

You can see this all the time on trucks: 'ABC Plumbing - Specializing in remodels, baths, kitchens, tile, etc'What this means is that they are really not good at anything and desperate to take on any job just to make a few bucks.

I know I'll sleep great tonight because by the time I'm ready to lay down I'll be both physically and mentally ready for rest.

Then, a preliminary site plan layout to understand what your infrastructure costs will be and laying out your homes per what the zoning allows. 

Definitely take the car ride and lay it all out - including how regular rate increases might be handled.

We’ve noticed water seeping issues through the shower tiles, causing damage to the sheetrock in our only bathroom on main floor.

The scope of repairs include: complete renovation of master bathroom, kitchen, and guest bathroom.I spent about $1,700 on materials for the master bathroom (vanity, lighting, tile, grout, 2 medicine cabinets, cement, drywall, etc.).

I can't speak for contractors, but as a DIYer, I know even the most basic kitchen renovation may end up costing me 10k if I were to do it myself. 2-3k for cabinets. 1k for plumbing and fixtures1k for electrical and fixtures2-3k for granite countertops1k for tiling/flooring1k for miscellaneous like painting, etc.
