Is there any place, website etc where contractor bids, rehab or building costs from previous projects are stored by investors to compare/learn from?

Emergency = call the police/fire department.

Furniture, clothing and a lot of personal effects.He claims that he has 30 days to get everything out and that we are obligated to store it for him.

If you were running an ice creme store and had a great flavor, would you tell someone else who wanted to open up a store in the same area your exact recipe for that flavor?

The Big Box Stores also usually have really inexpensive Carrara marble tiles in 3 x 6 or 4 x 6 sizes.

You need to confirm code requirements because the City of Houston has updated to the new Fire code so there might be some requirements that you would need to meet.With regard to service most of the installers have service departments that can come out as you need them. keep in mind you will also have to get yearly inspections as well.

No firm is going to maintain a renovation mortgage department unless it pays for itself. 

That was handled by a different department lol.

Again, they look trendy now, but are so much more durable than the junk sold at the big box stores.

Hi Tyler,Definitely put a call in to your Building Department to make sure you aren't violating any local zoning ordinances.
