If its just spec we usually take about 5 months.. production buys bang them out in  3 to 4 months but build quality is apples and oranges my product to theirs.

If tou Sell apple and buy amazon anyone will have to pay the tax.

Apple just announced a new campus in North Austin 5k to 15k more jobs!

It's comparing apples to oranges. 

Notice the appreciation for this property has gone up considerably in a little over two years, and I have a roughly $113k mortgage on it, so a good chunk of equity is there.So,Would you hold long-term, accept the costs, and essentially have these big capital expenditures eat up most of the profit I make in 9 years once these inevitable repairs come aroundORWould you sell, take advantage of the rapid equity increase and the timing of the two contracted SFHs, avoiding the upcoming capital expenditures, thereby keeping more cash on the sidelines in case Microsoft and Apple stock nosedive soon (hehe)?

Ironically i used to whitewash dairy farm barns when i was a young adult, lol.

Obviously, there will be some rotten apples in the bunch, but that is inevitable with a platform this size.  

And serve the prison food used outside of CA, grits and a hardboiled egg for breakfast, bologna sandwich and apple for lunch and meat and veggie patty for dinner. 

I don’t know your area prices but in my experience here in CA, that is a bit on the high side and I would expect other bids to come in lower.Best bet is to get at least 2 more bids, make sure they are apples to apples, and get their timelines and warranty info, those are just as important as the price as time is money.
