You are probably going to killed on costs there.

All it takes is one inspector to be perticular about the measurement, and it could cost you your entire basement, or add the cost of trying to lower the slab After you completed your remodel, which means a lot of rework...One additional bit of information related to the City of Chicago Building code which I hope will help someone in a tight situation down the road.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

Hi,I am trying to decide whether to stay with Travelers and increase my deductible or switch to Steadily, which is much cheaper.

Most purchases today are from folks looking to defray the cost of their second home.  

I'm not a title agent, but I presume there are fixed costs involved in any kind f services.

., starting with business cards that typically don't show on your personal credit report before doing the personal cards that are going to increase your credit risk until the CC companies finally stop offering you 0% deals.

What cost-effective options are out there? 

@Alan HaleCan’t answer number 2 but financing has nothing to do with your profit I’m it doesn’t matter what you buy whether a car, home or pack of toothpicks, your profit is what you paid for it minus your costs/expensesWhere financing does come into play is it is a cost as money is not free - but it’s only what you have paid for that financing.Hope that makes sense

I'm leaving out deductions for closing costs, maintenance, repairs etc.Say I buy a house for $300k, land value is $100k.
