If that is something that fits your style, search around.

You search for comps that are within 1 mile, and similar size, style and good/excellent condition. 

I also dabble in cooking, especially Texas style smoked barbecue. 

@Robert l BrownOkay thanks you to know trying myself bests build up my life style

I have done updating to my current home since I purchased it from it's original 70s style.

I would continue with wood and style for uniformity. 

In response to the original post, the requirement is driven by the life style of the client you serve.  

This area is loaded with lakes so you see a lot of these small cottage style houses as well as very large newer builds.  

Like most a HELOC on our home which is basically just borrowing your own cash.There are lots of ways to start but I prefer to advise to change your life style and save the cash for a DP.Second option would be to partner with someone that has the cash and needs a strong back to assist. 

I have done my own research into this and seems that by being creative with the mail campaign (i.e. invitation style envelopes, dropping in a mint/candy, etc.) really helps entice the recipient to open the mailer, which is the hardest part I believe!
