I can teach any aspect of the nuts and bolts of the business end or the bigger picture, but I can't teach imagination.Between this post and 15,000 others here you can paint my picture.

I know I am good at this, I have so many letters of recommendations from potential buyers, sellers, previous customers and even FSBO's.

If I new how to put pictures on the threads I would send you some of ours you would be astonished to see the resemblances  .I am currently building out in the Oregon wine country and we did use the attic space for bonus room.. by simply changing truss design.. we added 700 sq feet for about 11k.. added cost of truss's got the framer to just do time and materials building the stair and framing in the room..

The company is happy to share it's building techniques and suppliers.If you have an eco friendly flip it serves your customers in one of two ways:Straight up "Eco Friendly" sells the house/condo over the others in the area.If the customer doesn't bite on the Eco Friendly label, explain to them that their heating/cooling bills are going to significantly smaller than the neighboring houses.  

In my opinion, the key is to have a complete picture of the area you are looking to invest in.  

I have customers and more importantly long term employees that count on me to keep business flowing.

Joel Owens, who is on BP, does a good job of representing his buyers and presenting an accurate picture to the lender.Mark

He was explaining how he rebuilt the house and showed us a couple of pictures before it had been renovated.

But if it's your personal home and you want to customize, go crazy :)

One of the managers told me if I want to use my Lowes coupon for an online only HD order, I can call customer service, let them know I have the coupon and they will knock 10% off.
