You don't want to be the most expensive house in the neighborhood. Have your endgame in mind while working. If you are going to live in it, I get taking everything to the .01%. If you are going to use it as an income property, get it finished as safely and quickly as possible and start getting income.
Having a house owned by a contractor is like having a car owned by a mechanic. Its especially ironic considering people think anyone with a MD are God tier.
