I really like the kitchen cabinets are they locally sourced or something that could be shipped.

Evaluate each "deal" based on your verifiable numbers, design capabilities, and return requirements. 

With the I-40/75 split we have here there is a lot of manufacturing and shipping in and out of the area, with Oak Ridge we have a lot of technology in the area, and of course being the base for UT we have a lot of students and family moving to the area.

Because of this, I have been thoroughly investigating shipping container construction.  

I will be honest, I have not even begun to utilize the capabilities the site has to offer in terms of the tools available for investors.

(no labor cost in the figures) when I rehab a new property i buy we generally put in a new water heater, if the furnace is 20 years old it gets a new one, (order from e-barnett.com)  you would need about a 70,000 BTU furnace, they run about $550 for a 92% high efficiency shipped to your door, (plus install)  

Do the inspectors work with you to determine what is necessary for HUD licensed contractors to do or are you told what is required regardless of your capability to do the work yourself?

He is already representing you and I would do everything I could to sell it to someone else if you jumped ship mid way through. 

I truly believe that 'many hands make light work' and that a 'rising tide lifts all ships' !

It's a great strategy by having a larg amount of cash at once (when you sign off) and time off between ships to put your energy into investments.
