Hello all, I reside in MI but just wanted to know how hard is it to find a rehabber/renovator who would be willing to let you get your hands and clothes dirty? If so, do they allow women to work with them. Since I've been reading and tasting some of this awesome sauce info it's really building up my confidence even though Mr.Fear keeps rearing up his head , but I'm experiencing levels of strength.

Fear is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real (acronym). I believe in probity so I will speak the truth; I do not have any experience but have the tenacity and the willingness to stretch myself. I want be taking my carpentry courses until the fall semester and I also plan on doing some work with Habitat for Humanity. The vision and desire is there but just like breaking up-starting up is hard to do. Thanks a zillion to all who responds.

Hi @Winona Benson

First of all, welcome to BP. You have come to the best place to learn about RE and network with other RE investors.

To answer your question, I would go to local REIA and introduce yourself to all the experienced investors and ask them and I will be surprised if you didn't find any takers. All assuming you do quality work. I don't see anyone having problem working with women.

A contractor that I work with has 2 women on his crew who do painting.

Best wishes for your future success.
