@Scott McClelland Yes, I have had many bad apples.

Nobody can really give an estimate until they see your returns and from there we often make a leap of faith hoping that your accounting is in order.There isn't an apples to apples comparison here as some CPAs only prepare a return and dissapear until the next year while others are around to answer questions, complete tax planning for your S-Corp, and offer more of an all inclusive service. 

There are some manuals you can reference to get a high level comparison that would need local GC verification, but could give you some sense of apples to apples cost deltas for the systems you're wondering about before you reach out to your design team. 

And with the advent of the INternet  and to a great degree what is talked about on BP and supported by folks like you, it has created a mass of newbie non educated in the ways of real estate and some down right crooks out there scamming the public.. its the bad apples that are spoiling the bunch.. the state is responding to complaints from sellers not from realtors... or the real estate industry..

Pointing back to #1 above, let's first make sure that we're comparing apples to apples or at least to some other fruit.

So you have to compare apples to apples to get your price right.  

On the other hand, there are some bad apples that gives everyone a bad name but that happens in any business.

(Remember this is an apples to apples comparison, not a grandma cannot pay her mortgage payment screaming deal).
