That crowd, who comprises a large percentage of my own tenant base is the pinnacle of desirability in my opinion both from a financial risk standpoint to other measures.

After talking to a few (with some measurements) you will get a pretty good handle on estimating.

First check all the basics, do your own observations, measuring, etc.

However, they also started talking about goals toward the end of the podcast and they said some things that were contrary to what I understand as far as goal setting and accountability.The goal setting education that I am familiar with follows the SMART outline (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely).  

I'm a 29 year old hardwood flooring sub contractor who was stuck in the rat race far too long and have taken many measures now to exit post haste from the rat race.

But if its brick like ours was, you may want to go ahead and get some measurements of the windows.

One thing I noticed on the drawing is that they have the porch (with measurements) documented but the backyard only documents a stoop and but now there is a full deck that is apart of the house.

The 50% rule is considered a conservative measure to use. 

Pretty soon it turns into a discussion about how the break room vending machine never worked and Mary brings fish for lunch and it stinks up the whole office.Same thing with buyers asking to get into the house "To measure curtains" after inspections.

They provide the following services...1) Send someone to take measurements of the room2) Create a 3D layout of the kitchen based on your criteria and vision3) Create a budget for your review and approval4) Order the cabinets, countertops, and appliances and anything else you need5) Install everything using their own vetted installation expertsThe house is a low-mid range property in Oklahoma City, so I plan on using framed semi-stock MDF cabinets with a wood veneer and formica or laminate counter tops.As far as I can tell, the biggest downfall is that they say it could take a few weeks to a month to complete the process.
