You are invested, you are investing, you have control, direction, a say, impact, choices.

@Joshua Lanzieri when renovating older properties there are almost always negative surprises.Go watch any HGTV renovation show and most of them will have this as a cliff-hanger, forcing the choice of either going over budget or cutting back elsewhere.10% overruns happen often, but 50% is NOT acceptable!

If I have to buy a last-minute ticket or spend $1,000 or so for notarized signatures at a consulate, then it has a significant effect on my choices.

Yes they can use a realtor of their choice.

It won't be as promising; the saturation of this thematic investing choice has defeated it's purpose.

Mostly people with minimal RE experience are adding a single ADU and they often make that choice based on cash flow without taking into account the negative equity position.  

They have the choice of finding their own insurance or they can be automatically enrolled in my master policy.

Beautiful renovation and design choices!

So, we felt we had no choice but to stick with this guy.Move on to the end of June. 

They have the money so they get to make the choice.
