I'm an agent for Customer First Homes in Southfield, MI and we specialize in Land Contracts.

In the end I think a convo with a customer is what drove me to post, this person was totally clueless looking to justify inaction.

The major cost of cabinetry (production line, NOT custom) are the face frames, doors and drawer faces.

Their business-customer services are a web of 1990s outdated technology and farcical bureaucracy where even the simplest transaction requires a series of phone calls (yes, believe it or not, you'll deal with agents of HSBC who don't have email access and can only contact you by phone) and often only goes in circles.

The reason is you are not a client/customer of the company you are filing the claim against so they are not responsible for providing you RCV.

You're going to find a mix of brand new development and old rural tracks with acreage and everything from dilapidated ranch homes to brand new custom mansions.

I think this will give vendors on this site a reason to contribute more often and strive for better customer service.Good reviews=more businessBad reviews=less business

Each home is custom, most by different builders, especially in the older section we're in.

The number of customers you have had and the company reputation is somewhat difficult to ascertain, but can be estimated in a dollar value.

Assuming, again that you are building it for yourself for the long haul, the long term loans you can get these days are great and if my prediction of hyper inflation is right, you will also be able to pay it off sooner then later.Word of caution:Many people who build custom homes to serve them "for the rest of their life" find themselves in a trap after few years if circumstances force them to sell (Divorce, illness, death, financial hardship).
