@jamesonhaslam It's bucket naked

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@RE_Ari18 Depends on how confident I am on the success of the project

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@realAAAbbott @jamesonhaslam Exactly. If you can sell religion door-to-door, you are pretty much are training yourself for elite level salesmanship

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@shawngorham I think you would also make more as a GC. Would you consider that?

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@GrulkeLamonte You're a great builder. I think you'll do much better developing in a higher price market.

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@shawngorham Floors first. Gives more optionally if you change kitchen layout down the road. Also cleaner look

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@realEstateTrent When you look back aren't there at least a few you wish you kept? I like what you do but I would certainly start holding some in your own portfolio. I think you may be discounting the future value and how hard it might be to recreate your strategy 5-10 years from now.

@HambrechtJason @mhp_guy I second the Focal speakers. I use marantz receivers but would love McIntosh one day

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@Erik_Robbins_ @shawngorham Try to steal some from closets and other less visible areas. Replace those ones with new boards at 2.25". If you need longer or more pieces you can take from along a wall that way you can replace with 2.25"

@_FlipMan Why not just get a large non refundable deposit? What's your concern?

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@GrulkeLamonte Such tight work. May I ask the manufacturer of the wood (or composite) siding?

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@Nallysmom What didn't you like about Telluride? I'm a skier but only being able to fly private to their airport is not great.

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@jamesonhaslam @ArtemTepler Thanks so much!

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@jamesonhaslam @ArtemTepler Great question. No specific budget but trying to get the best value. Is it possible to get something inline with pricing of say Trex if purchased direct from overseas?

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@jamesonhaslam @ArtemTepler you had mentioned going direct to vendors in Indonesia and getting similar woods like Red Balau shipped in. thoughts on a good inexpensive wood that has the look of IPE and would hold up well in our Northeast climate? Also, any specific overseas vendors you could refer me to?

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@HunkyDoryTX Call the owner directly

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@3NDeveloper what do you think is going through the mind of the seller not to lower the price after 3 years on market? especially now knowing they are ecstatic to receive an offer 30 percent off ask.

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@iononrecourse I'm with you and do the same in Philly. I try to invest even before the cafes arrive by tracking where the creatives are living/renting cheap studio space. Things don't move super fast here so you can often identify the neighborhoods but can be a long hold until really profitable

[Bob Metry @Bob_Metry]

@shawngorham Those margins to slim for me but wouldn't be surprised if they are doing a a so-so deal to keep their crews working
