I was in a partnership with 4 others owning a real estate office and I didn't enjoy it.

It looked nothing like I planned when it was done but it was still beautiful and kind of had a brown terrazzo look, where the aggregate was visible.

., I enjoy that you found the property I was talking about without my mentioning the neighborhood or address.

Two problems we've had with acrylic that were combined with the tub surround... tenant burning tea light candles on the soap dish burned a hole in the surround and another tenant couple (both overweight) who enjoy taking showers together caused the tub and surround to flex so it became detached from the wall.

I really enjoyed the lunch - thank you.  

The classes are also entertaining, enjoyable, and… Actually fun!

There are VERY few affordable homes, all the large builders in the area have been building homes in the $140k-$180k range, while many of the new jobs comming into the area pay a rate that doesn't work well with these ranges.Anyway, we got to talking, and it seems he enjoys building smaller, more affordable homes, rather than the 3k-4k square feet homes he's been doing.So , the best thing to do would be find lots in an area and build....But there aren't any, in fact in my town there are VERY few lots to build on, and most are splits from already existing, double lots.So, after talking to him ,it seems the best way to do things would be find an area that's developable and do it.So, i'm curious to know what pitfalls thoes of you who have done this (Succuessfully) and try to learn.

You are gonna really enjoy this site.

Thanks again and enjoy all the forums!
