Can take the whole month when it's pieced out retail or when there is specialty flooring that needs ordering.  

Earlier this year, I was consulted on a quartz countertop installation they performed for a retail customer.  

I remember coming to work one day and half of my department was gone.

When you're paying retail for a property, you're NOT investing, you're speculating.

I've done hundreds of flips in one of the lowest priced areas of the country (Atlanta) and have never spent less than $12/sf for a retail flip. 

I would have the home owner (administrator) call the Medicaid claims department and tell them the patient has died and that the home has no equity.

@David Dachtera  nope just 42 years of doing real estate deals at a very high level.and owned one of the largest hardmoney lending companies in the fix and flip space and I have never gotten anyone asking for a loan that learned their craft through REnatusI fund many others that have gone to the TV guru's  Lindahl and others . the most effective of my clients and I have over 3000 loans not a one a Renatus student.. not that they don't exist.anytime you have people like you that make money selling a system and those at the top make all the money then to me its MLM.people would be so much better to simply get a RE licnese and go to work .. either in the retail sector or the commercial sector.. doing it on your own has a failure rate above 90% no matter who teaches you what.. were as realtors only fail 50% of the time..

In addition, the water department, electric company, sewer department, other landlords all know everybody.  

You should check with the zoning department.

Paying retail doesn't make money.
