It’s easier and more efficient than picking your own stocks.

Trying to figure out the “real” cost of installing a new central AC unit and replace existing old furnace.This is in San Jose, CAHome is 1600 sq ft - 2 story Got quotes that range from 8.5k to 15kI guess the need is a 3.5 ton compressor and a 2 stage energy efficient furnace.

Mainly, in my last experience, I found not going through a realtor much more efficient, since I was the realtor.

If I'm gonna hit a roadblock there, then a title search/insurance policy would just be a waste of money. 

I have family in MKE and now a property so I'm back and forth fairly often, but probably not enough to hit one of their meetings. 

I looked on the forums for an answer to my question but nothing hit the mark. 

@Chai JonnThose are very reasonable number to hit.

At first it wasn’t a huge bother to me but after checking the listings again due to that surreal feeling of “I did it, I negotiated my first deal” and constantly looking at it with that sense of pride, it starting to hit me.

Specifically looking for any recommendations for contractors who have done similar jobs and can navigate the permitting process efficiently.

Condo fees can also increase at the drop of a hat or they can hit you with a special assessment to pave the parking lot, roof the building, or some other major expense.
