My parents remodeled everything they lived in, built a new retirement home; and lost it after eight years to a defaulted balloon payment on two other properties. Three properties were listed and the one on the coast sold first.

Their subcontractors were sub-par, but they had a nephew hand split cedar shakes and the roofers used stainless steel staples.
