Charles, I'll check my archives for the spreadsheet (I think Charles Wu has it online someplace) but I believe the financing is only a small portion of the issue. It's the labor. Good, reliable labor, that has experience and knowledge. As far as your $100k, there are many variables and more detail is needed. Sidenote: I dont live there now but I was born and raised in SoCal. When you say medium city, are you using city limits as a coverage area. I ask because in SoCal nearly all the cities run together from San Diego to Santa Barbara. At any rate, in my experience, whatever budget you come up with - double it!
