Kathi Fleck, UDCP, took an unconventional path to a career in the remodeling industry. Prior to starting their business, LoneStar Design Build, Kathi and her husband, Don Fleck, had successful careers in the corporate world.
Neither of them had a background in remodeling. Although Kathi had a design degree, her career path had taken her away from using it. The Fleck's always loved homes and renovations, however.

Ask a contractor why he or she is in business, and they’ll probably say: to make money. That makes perfect sense — at least to them. But it probably won’t do much to motivate employees or attract customers. And how about the person who’s just been hired? What do you say is the company’s purpose? To make money means to make the boss money.

That makes sense, to a point. But what happens when the economy turns south? You won't be able to use those tools or equipment to keep your business in the black.

The IRS has confirmed it: interest on home equity lines of credit is tax deductible, kind of.
On February 21, the Internal Revenue Service finally gave the remodeling industry the news it was waiting for regarding tax deductions on interest paid on home equity indebtedness, and specifically for home equity lines of credit (HELOCs).
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated interest deductions for HELOCs (as well as for the two other common forms home equity indebtedness: home equity loans and secondary mortgages), causing confusion among tax payers and the construction industry, since in most cases, mortgage loans to buy or build a home were still deductible.

Many cultures have a tradition of marking the passage from one year to the next, whether it’s a party or just spending time with friends and family. Some also look at it as an opportunity to take inventory of the previous year and make resolutions for the new one. In business, the fourth quarter of the year can, and should, be a time for serious planning.

"Thank you for considering us for your construction needs. While your described method may work well for some it does not fit our business model. Therefore, we are respectfully declining involvement in this project. We wish you all the best."
That's how it should be done, gang. A nice, polite walk away with little time and money spent and no financial loss. Recognize a potential pain in the assets when you see one, and let someone else take the job.
