Yes their rates are high but without any real experience to prove this is the route for me.

For my 4 plex, I got quoted $24,000 for solar system- way too high. 

Also consider if your baseboards have shoe moulding, how high your jambs are cut, etc.

I highly recommend it.

It's all coming together quite nicely, and thanks to all the great insight from this site and from many books, my standards for cash flow have gotten extremely high, and we're killing it on our COC for the most recent three properties.Where we are now is...we just got a very nice cash payout from some complicated circumstances surrounding my wife's company being bought out and all retained employees getting huge retention bonuses.

I personally like investing in B and C class apartment communities in high growth markets (population and jobs). 

It seemed really high...

My father in law builds spec homes, so with the high price of $450-600k for a SF home in our area, we plan to build an average sized house, (+/-2200sqft) on a +/-1acre lot in the Fallbrook/Bonsall/Rainbow area for $450k or less (including land.)

Any enlightenment is highly appreciated.

I am thinking of house hacking in the area, I am thinking real estate that prices are too high what does everyone else think?
