Interesting - if this materializes, we are coming a full circle.

Leigh Ann Smith there is a very interesting guy building tiny houses with salvaged materials just outside Gonzalez, TX off of the highway.

I'm sure they will be even more helpful as reference material once everything starts getting more "real" and I'm actually talking with sellers and viewing their properties.

He knew about business, legal issues, tax issues, marketing, sales, promotion, networking, and most importantly he knew about people (psychology).The first thing he did was tell me that I have two ears and one mouth, and I should listen more than I talk.Second thing he did was have me read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.Then he taught me how to set appointments with home sellers, go out to their home, and write up a "letter of intent to purchase or lease".He said to me, "your job is to bring me potential home sellers who will consider a creative offer."

You get surpassed by other agents on YOUR OWN LISTING because they paid Zillow to be a "Premier Zillow Agent" - whatever that is..Using your proprietary listing materials (pictures which you've paid for) for free on their website, then charge YOU a fee for being a "Premier Agent" on your own listing!

So when our subcontractor bid, they have a all the contract documents such as detailed material list with SKUs, specifications, detailed scope of work, invitation to bid instructions, etc.

My line of thinking is if a house costs close to $2,000,000, then then promotional materials ought at least reflect the value of the property.Take for example the flyer belowI took the same photos and information brightened them up a bit (they're still bad photos, can't do anything about that at this point), rearranged them, and produced the flyer below.Do you think I could get people to pay for my design services?

But I'm clueless on materials, paint colors, most desireable flooring. 

But newer materials can keep a flat roof worry free for 25-50 years.

He told me people can pay for 1 on 1 but the materials provided is what you need to target our market.
