I will personally elevate that concern and introduce you to the head of Bay National.

New construction is also elevating interest in properties at all price points and quality levels across the market.

This book will help you to develop your elevator pitch and really focus your mindset on asking others great questions to build both personal and business relationships.

I gave my elevator pitch then summarized what I was doing (effectively) as building investment equity and free cash flow without incurring any current tax liability.

However HOA fees are a HUGE PITA. the HOA fees on the two 1650s are $250...we don't even have a pool or elevators

Anything north and west of Boston is at higher elevations, so they tend to get more snow more frequently.As to rating areas, I believe that's a completely personal judgment call.  

Not sure about elevation certs.

Careful in your selection as stains that are silane based (silicon) typically do not breath.I have seen the face of brick and the entire front wall of CMU 'popped' off an elevation due to sealing the exterior of a cavity wall system.My suggestion is to hire an expert such as an architect, building systems engineer or such to give a recommendation on how your wall systems were designed to function.

@Erik Peddle do you have an elevation certificate?

I'm currently looking for 'PreFab' purveyors (factories, distributors, etc.) that have a product line with at least 4 models with elevations and floor plans that we can purchase factory direct in, KIT FORM and have drop shipped onsite throughout San Diego County and surrounding areas.
