As an example, I was rehabbing the same types of houses over and over in Atlanta using the same contractors and the same materials/finishes.

Many of the secondary market buyers of loans, or guarantors, like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are Government sponsored entities, whose purpose is to promote home ownership.

@Travis Shaw use the marketplace for self promotion else you will get booted - BP rules.

Your materials are likely going to around 50% of the build, at the least.

I will put something together myself if nothing else materializes.  

I suggest that they consider how to use materials that might be able to sustain water and still maintain its integrity if that's possible.

George - is $2.89/sq ft your material cost or installed cost by contractor?  

They cause trouble where trouble doesn't exist to promote their cause with little or no oversight or accountability

They go to schools where Bibles are being handed out and hand out similar literature.Florida school quits handing out bibles after Satanic Temple demands equal timeYeah, it's Satanic and intended to be shocking, but the intent is not really to promote Satan, but to get the other religious installation removed.  

(I'm going to start trolling the blog and forums for reading material)Since I am buying this property 'turnkey' and all major repairs should be completed prior to purchase (ie included in purchase price), I believe my cost basis should be fairly easy to calculate, right?
