It's good to know that my projections are somewhat accurate because that does make me feel better.

We are killing it in the North west with new construction.and I would not have said that pre 08 but with all the builders and subs going under in 08 and 09 there is some really good talent that can be brought on to manage these [projects for those that are not that savvy..

I think this will be perfect for my current project.

I haven't done the math, it sure is a bit more expensive than upgrading to the minimum, but it does take your project to the next level, bringing in a higher sale price and a quicker sale.

Ideally, I'd like to invest in some lower maintenance projects, possibly with partners who are starting out and could use my expertise.Thanks for the great forum, I look forward to perusing it further.

But, I am wanting to see if anyone is willing to let me help them out on any of their projects?

I was with them for 11 years becoming a project manager for land surveying and civil engineering projects.

It is a housing project........

Find someone that comes highly recommended from a friend, family, real estate agent, etc who charges a fair price and you will have a sucessful project anything less and you are gambling.

I enjoy the challenge of taking on new and difficult projects.
