And you're correct, with this particular build, it's very common for the HVAC side of things to have the in-slab vents concreted in, then run new vents.

Common pitfalls include unclear agreements on responsibilities, exit strategies, and cash flow distribution.

Thanks Barry, I appreciate that.It took a lot of trial and error to get this dialed in, but once we built systems around the process, everything became repeatable.

It's a common misconception that you need to do a cost seg before year end, although I think less people are falling into that trap. 

@Erik EstradaWhat error are you getting?

It’s super common to hover around that 0.75 range when the main goal is just to help offset the mortgage while you build equity.Cape May is really seasonal too, so numbers don’t always tell the whole story.

I can also share general information on common financing approaches many investors use in these regions.

We’re currently developing a niche construction service in Los Angeles — stretch ceiling systems.This product is very common in Europe but still extremely rare in the U.S., and because of that, the demand from homeowners, designers, and contractors has been growing faster than we expected.This week we completed another project and learned a few things that might be useful for those working in renovation or home services:🔹 Stretch ceilings allow installation without demolition🔹 Jobs are usually done in 1 day🔹 Perfect for modern interiors, LED lighting, and high-moisture areas🔹 Strong margin business if the workflow is organized properlyWe’re currently building systems for:• faster installs• standardized materials• predictable pricing• and a scalable model for multiple citiesI’d love to hear from:— contractors— business owners— entrepreneurs who scaled niche construction services— or anyone who tested new-home-service models in the U.S. marketWhat challenges did you face when growing into new cities?

Also, connecting with experienced investors or property managers early can give you guidance and help avoid common mistakes.

It's important to know where that is to prevent damage from above ground vehicles (like parking on the yard as is common in a lot of rural areas).
