I'd do that in a heartbeat, but there are 2 obstacles. One is the lack of start up projects and the other is the greed thing I keep mentioning. A decent remodel today will run anywhere from 100K to 300K. Of course that are exceptions at either end, but that is where the bulk is. So, 5 to 15K for an adviser (OK, call it a PM) buys a lot of cabinets.
Most people think they can do this on their own. BTW, do you know the percentage of homeowners that will do more than one major remodel in their lifetime? It's not that many, let me tell you. They think they can handle it then they suffer the consequences. The next time they just buy what the need already in place, which, of course, is the best way.
I said I
major remodel. Painting and new floors is not what I call a remodel. Neither is a significant landscaping job, something we all need periodically.
