This could be a good way to get your foot in the door

I’m quite intrigued by the acrylic stucco option as this sounds like a very robust coating that will last a long time.What do you guys think?

@David Clay, So the duplex we built cost us $107 per square foot.

The term "House Hacking" had been in the back of my mind for months as a way to get my foot in the door.

And yes, getting contractors to give you estimates in the beginning works well.Once to you get to know property, you can walk through and tell pretty quickly, for example in my area $20 per square foot (SF) would be light remodel. $40 more extensive, and $50k for a full rehab. 

we did some research about 4 or 5 years ago and the best we found was around $65 per foot. 

Any asset where these tenants comprised a significant portion of income or where responsible for driving foot traffic is at high risk of becoming distressed during this recession.Quick Service, Fast Casual, Bars/Restaurants & Fitness: Service-based retailers that rely on face-to-face interaction with customers and social gatherings started the year strong and were forecast to outpace other retail categories in growth.

I sold a house earlier this month where the out of town buyer had never set foot in the house.

The water was left on for a week and when she came back her basement was submerged upto a foot. 

Doesn't necessarily have to be the one with his or her name on every bus bench or mailer, but someone that is ninja good and can teach you the ropes and is willing to foot the cost and time of hiring a brand new agent, in trade for the long term success you will hopefully bring the both of you.
