Pictures are the number one driver of booking.

As I just sold a couple of rent houses from a business that I started out of necessity and have now closed, I know that if I had a spot I wanted to lease, I could afford to open a shop without financing.This is where the complications start because of the bigger picture. 

PS: always go with toggle bolts instead of plastic expansion anchors, trust me I am experienced now :)Below are pictures of my proud work hahahaha

Haven't seen inside yet but the pictures look good Lessons learned?

@Troy Forney I agree on the big picture.

Recently, I was able to get a conventional loan for a customer and navigate the way around a home built in 1940s with unsafe wiring, cloth, and aluminum single strand wiring, and 17 ungrounded outlets. 

If we go that way, we end up cutting our own throats when customers are willing to pay $21,000, or $3,000 more because they want a good contractor vs. taking a chance with a less-expensive contractor who may drag the job out too long, or not ever finish the job after being paid too much in advance.$18,000 seems to be the average price nationwide.

I can picture this situation getting worse and worse. 

., which made things significantly more simple.As for customization, we have the ability to work with almost any custom design.
