There are several issues but the two most pressing are: I have only been doing multiple rehabs at the same time for about a year so a learning curve and I manage the subs and dont use a contractor.

I didn't know Ryan at all until Joshua talked me into speaking with him at the conference.

People (and their houses) have been there so much longer; I think you'd be hard pressed to find a spot where no one had died, so why think about it?

I just came back from NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) conference and people are doing some truly amazing work with these.For an amazing short, check out Vincent Laforet's Nocturne.

But I'm guessing you'd be hard pressed to get 100k note for 30k.

Hopefully we can meet catch each other at a conference.

Also - We're going to hopefully have a Saint Louis meetup, sometime in mid-October (we'll be in town 17th-20th for a conference) so keep an eye out.

I particularly like being able to do a google hangout, discuss with everyone in a video conference, and all see and edit one spreadsheet for example. 

But you would be hard pressed to be able to capture a deal with a seller who is knowledgable and who understands the aggressive market in places like ATX.

I have never worked with steel piers but have been happy with concrete pressed piers.
