What's the verdict on this Chris Arciga fella? He's reaching out to me now. He's awful pushy.

Side question for @Melissa McRay Johnson. I just listened to your podcast on lead gen and how to handle contractors. Great stuff! Are those rule of thumb prices still relevant today as they were in 2018? Namely, 2.5k bathroom, 1.25/sqft paint, 2.25/sqft flooring, 1200 kitchen with good cabinets. Thanks!
Also, I don't know how to blue text reply haha
Hi Adam!
Generally yes, those prices have stayed pretty accurate for me. Although with Covid I know the cost of materials has been higher so they may need a little temporary adjustment.
You gave so much value in that episode and continue to do so. Thank you!

Post: Property Appraiser Questionnaire after my purchase

Just received mine in the mail. Went right in the bin. I went through a very time consuming challenging their appraised value on my first property. They kept arguing for purchase price as opposed to uniform and equal for the neighborhood. Texas is non-disclosure and the notice is voluntary. Bin it!

@Greg H.:
That is a very interesting solution! I'm stunned just as the chief appraiser was, but I'm very glad that they were able to get you rolling outside of the application window. Just from my call to Guadalupe County, I don't want to be 100% pessimistic about it, but I'm not hopeful that'll help haha.

@Linda Hastings:
You're right on the money! The house just across the street from mine got some subcontractors out front a couple days ago. I went to introduce myself and they told me the story how the owner didn't pull permits and the city came-a-knockin. They apparently fined her pretty good and made her get licensed subs to clean up her work.
