An expensive contractor

Dave Halevi

Hello everyone. I'd like to consult with you about my issue.

There's a contractor that we've been working together on a few projects in the past two years, I can tell that he's very experienced, and very reliable. But, on the other hand, he knows his value and his pricing is sometimes outrageous.

I tried to explain to him my point of view, and reflect the idea of losing deals or spending too much on rehabs.

So, that's the place I need your advice.

Is that a deal breaker, or his other values are good enough for the situation.

Thank you!

@Dave Halevi I am that type of Contractor you're working with so I can relate. It is not worth it to us to discount our work for any reason because guys like us can get these nice high-end jobs anytime. If this Contractor likes you, you like him - and trust him and he works well for you (great quality, consistent scheduling) then I would stick with him because you found the needle in the haystack.

So rather than try to lower your prices/quality, why not become the Investor that people know will provide that kind of quality and service and charge top dollar for your product? Be that niche guy that people seek out!
