This home had a HUGE delay that cost us thousands of dollars.The group that put in the underground plumbing dug the plumbing too low, and by the time we caught the mistake, the slab had already been poured and the septic tanks installed.We had to dig up the septic tanks, install a lift station, and reinstall the septic tanks.This all happened during 2 hurricanes, which caused even more delays.Time kills deals.This is why you need to 1) be conservative with your timelines and costs, 2) add contingencies to your budgets, and 3) have a healthy profit margin.

I am going to get my real estate license as soon as I graduate. 

Over time I will build and rent improved camp sites.

As a former resident of both islands, I was shocked to see the damage firsthand and to also see all the homes that where I once lived having to dig out from the sand that came with the surge.Coming back to my own home off the islands I could not help to think how this event is going to change our local area in the near-term.
