Over the years, I have found that if you have a clear data model (ideally 'implemented' in MySQL for instance) your success rate(s) for all other functions (UI, processing functions, interfaces, etc.) goes up dramatically.

I do, anyway since my parents are still there :)My next steps are to form either an LLC or S-Corp (still researching which) and form solid relationships with an agent, contractors and HMLers.

But we want to buy a house under market value, so we can build some sweat equity  while living in our home.We've found a great 4bed 2.5 ba house in our area that's priced at 177k, and comps in the area are selling from the low to mid 200's.

Duplexes I think will appreciate at a higher rate (probably why the prices are higher compared to the 3 and 4's in our market).  

To all, You insure the structure(s), not the contents, that's up to them to decide whether to insure or not.   

What are other 3/2's selling for within a 1/2 mile?

But again, it's worth more than she paid, and when it's finished its up around $50k, not the greatest neighborhood, not the worst either, but at worst, it goes on s.8.
