Monetary systems like consistency. 

@David Dey  is correct that a contractor will have a spread in their bid (I interpret spread as overhead and profit) - after all, they are running a business... therein, in part, is their monetary skin in the game.  

An added benefit is the monetary savings of doubling down on classes for those two years--Dual Enrollment tuition is covered by the county under the HS program (again, maybe this is unique to FL, and we did pay for books and supplies).

Thank you"-$300 Monthly Net Operating Loss / $2,500 Operating Expenses = 12%That mean's, keeping all things constant, over 30 years you would have had 88% of an asset paid for you by someone else assuming no appreciation or tax benefit - Simply just the amount of cash towards an assessed value at a date in time.That is not a bad investment - You used monetary leverage to then leverage someone else's time and income to pay for an asset in your portfolio.

We have a very rigid policy when it comes to placement and screening, it ensures that we follow all the rules every time equally with every potential candidate, discpline... the short answer is, if you feel this is a "qualified" situation for your business then pursue it, if you feel the decision is not emotional, not monetary and conforms to your policy....... you have your answer

Friggin motivated sellers that see total logic that their dog died in their yard suddenly has a monetary value and want 200K MORE for their house and no matter how much actual functional logic you use with numbers and Bernoulli's equations, graphs, charts, sprinkled with the 3rd law of thermodynamics,.. they just do not get it.
