It's a harmless entertainment that gives people enjoyment. Your business model is dangerous to the consumers. This fixer scheme is another set of law suits waiting to happen. Costs of construction, location in relation to price and condition, or project viabilty is not a one size fits all. Permits do not make a project economically viable or even free the builder or contractor from future liabilty. The code has a caveat that the contractor is ultimately responsible because he or she is the one who sees the plan executed. It ain't easy. Trying to present this as a internet business model shows how out of touch you are with the Real Estate business. Business is war. You have been contracted to try to build an internet real estste business for sale to the highest bidder. Your dream is that the advertising dollars will off set the expense of building this model for sale. It was peach tree or something that was your last project? I can't remeber because it is irrelevant to the work you are doing today. Back to the war. I'll take the challenge. I own a domain name of www.fixerfixer.com let's see what we can do to each other over this business idea. Glen, Glen, Glen,
