No one has the responsibility to show you anything, you need to go out there and learn for yourself.  

I appreciate the responses, gents!

It doesn't show me responses half the time so I'm still learning its ways.

I figured I'd throw this out here and see what responses I got before hitting the podcasts again (could take me quite a while to find the answer by listening to all of them again ;)).Thanks in advance!

I look forward to your responses and any experiences you have and can share.

Someone in this age range is more likely to take risks, not foresee consequences, not take responsibility for their actions, and tends to follow peer pressure above that of authority.

Labor is not that expensive for the items you listed and part of that cost is for having someone responsible, finding deals in this market is the bottleneck. 

Again, thanks ton on the insight and detailed response.

@Danny Webber sorry for the late response-  I am moving in a couple of days and packing doesn't seem to end :) $200,000 is reasonable...  

I appreciate the honest questions and hope I gave a realistic and somewhat thought out response on how I’d personally handle those potential challenges.
