When you open then release the door, the weight of the door makes it almost slam (since the door is inclined as you can see in the first pic).

If the numbers don’t make sense ask for a price reduction, if they don’t come down, back out due to financing.

The reason I ask is because many speculate that raising the standard deduction is just a baby step towards eliminating the mortgage interest deduction later....if most people aren't benefiting from it they won't notice when it is gone....goes the logic.2) Corporate tax rate reduction. 

Check the weight.

And they get 1/3 of the equity in an appreciating property.Result for me:I get $20k to invest elsewhere, a manager for my OOS property, a 50% reduction in expenses for ongoing maintenance/cap ex, etc.

This made a huge difference in resale value, so we wanted a reduction in purchase price.

Or would having renters available to sign a 12 month lease reduce the weight of the first mortgage on our DTI ratio? 

But if you view the debt as a means to an end, a path towards early retirement, it will hopefully help you to not feel the weight on your shoulders. 

scheduling is an essential aspect of profiting from a project. using a GC is probably a bit more costly, but they are carrying the weight of the project and have overhead. shopping a GC's price is probably more time consuming than it is beneficial. you also are gaining the GC's knowledge of the qualiity of work that you will be receiving. but a schedule is critical and should be attached to the contract as an addendum. also any preference in material would need to be specified. the other item ive always included in contracts is the expected milestones and the sub either your own or from the GC should be strictly held to. after you get a few projects done you will understand more about how to schedule. also be mindful of your scope of work and changes. change orders can blow your budget.
