Again, the tips you provided for evaluating agents was concrete, actionable advice.

A block away from the Cleveland clinic.

Doesn't sound like it will be a particularly hard model to copy, and when the word gets out you could find 10 houses on the same block under cutting your prices by 50% or more. 

But 1) I bet you $100 every one of their neighbors has their ac set below 80. 2) when it’s 115 degrees out I guarantee everyone on my block has their ac set below 80, pry below 75. 

The burnt house will be demolished, and the foundation will be used to reconstruct a new 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home.I have a builder I have worked with on other smaller jobs, like concrete work on my house.

If nothing else it's an education and starting block for your journey. 

I thought a block window with a shower insert going right up to it but maybe that’s more expensive and more work than I should be doing.

My husband and I are doing this work ourselves and we just poured the concrete last weekend.

(We knew the parents so my wife just about adopted these sheltered girls).The OTHER girl's BMW would not start & it was blocking her vehicle against the 2 car garage & she has to get to her Gross Anatomy final (Yep final year pre-med).The wife went over (2 miles away) opened the garage door (no-one ever parked in as they had already lost the remotes) and she was able to drive into the garage & back it out.Same girls called the wife @ 11pm for baking soda to make cookies.

I don't think I'll be ready for a couple months yet to buy, but I'm looking for some concrete answers so I know what benchmarks I need to hit in order to move forward in a purchase.
