The subterranean cheese cave at Leelanau Cheese in Suttons Bay, Michigan. The Raclette cheese sits on shelves inside the cave, every other day workers flip the cheese and wash it with a brine solution, ensuring the right types of microbes are growing on the surface. The cheese is aged for three to five months inside the cave at around 55 degrees fahrenheit. (Joel Bissell | MLive.com) |

The pushbacks: Material prices are increasing, trade labor is getting harder to find and the Fed’s hike on interest rates have created barriers in the home flipping business. Still, Morris looks out for the people, often before profit. On average, they break even. At best, they make a profit around $20,000.
