Yearly Cash Flow: $35-40K
Purchase Price: $114,000
Property Information: 2 acres ocean front, 525 sq ft Geo Dome, 124 sq ft luxurious Kitchen/Bath structure
Lesson Learned: Design the road around where you want the septic and structures to be. We ended up digging and doing the road a few times which costed us time and money

Lesson Learned: The balance between giving a new sub-contractor a chance vs. picking someone right for the job.
Favorite Memory: Taking the crew out for a hike and dinner after we were almost ready to list the property. Most of the folks who worked on site don’t always slow down to enjoy the simple pleasures. Dinner was at my favorite steak house in Boston, Grill 23.
