Lately home depot prices on shaker style cabs aren't terrible.

I'm sure there's an acronym somewhere but it really doesn't matter.But, we've also done some deals that probably aren't as great as they could have been, we could have waited and got better deals, but we have one small problem - we don't have a crystal ball.So we play the game the best we can today, rather than worry about the deal that may or may not happen tomorrow.However, of the bad deals, although they may not be as good as we want it opens doors (both physically and metaphorically).For instance, we got to a size of SFRs (with the bad deals - grass still needs cutting) where my wife employed a gardener for two months whilst I was away.

Unfortunately I do not have any before/after pics because unless I take a pic for something to fix at home depot im pretty bad about taking pictures though I feel like I should be doing that to present to future investors.

I bought most of the regular supplies at Home Depot and looked for anyway I could save.

Those guys stand outside Home Depot wants $150 a day of temp labor work.

If the bees are outside it is not your responsibility any more than if they were on the flowers in the garden.

I do:smaller diameter recessed lights nicer door knobs (not base home depot ones)nicer cabinet hardwareslightly upgraded granite and appliances Pls end marble in master bath instead of normal ceramic solid core interior doors instead of hollow

After I move out in the 1st year, the third garden unit has potential to rent out for around $1500.00 a month.

I have 10 SFH all within one hour drive so my weekends are spent driving to the houses and, of coarse, to Home Depot.

Its really expensive to have your contractors go to Home Depot for an hour a day vs having the materials either delivered or already paid for and ready for pickup in the morning.The other thing I think is valuable is being a project manager.
