    Portola Springs - Manzanita

    <a href="../../../account/340/">keitht925</a>, I asked whether your $125 psf figure was the direct construction cost. According to your reply, I'm guessing it isn't.

    Portola Springs - Manzanita

    The profit split may have changed within the last few years but , as keith said, builder profit is capped at 10% (or less after misc. costs) by TIC. Everything beyond that belongs to TIC. It's a highway robbery at best. And keith, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the $125 psf...

    Mold Problem for Townhomes and Condos

    <a href="../../../account/26/">EvaLSeraphim</a>, You are right. Allow me to rephrase my statement; Our liability is considerably <em>higher </em>than SFR projects due to shared mold and other structural problems. Once hit with a lawsuit, any profit remaining in the project is...

    Mold Problem for Townhomes and Condos

    That is why we hate building attached units. Our liability is considerably longer than SFR projects. I think it's in the range of 10 years in California.

    Certificate of Deposit

    I'm pretty much on top of everything personal finance related, but there is one question that still lingers: If I open a CD today and it doesn't mature until 2008, will the interest-income be counted towards my 2007 or 2008 returns?

    Can you help to improve the detached condo?

    Hi bkshopr, I was just about to head to bed when I read this post. Maybe any input I give you now will reflect on new detached condo designs in the future. We have visited all the Woodbury and Portola Springs' detached condo units and here's the short of it. Please bear in mind...
