What do RE Investors/Flippers want to know about Contractors and Construction?

[Tatiana R.]

I'm hoping to get some ideas on what I should write about/ share on our business Facebook page regarding contractors and construction for investors.

My guy is a contractor in LA and Orange County. I started learning how to make a Facebook page for his business about two years ago. I work as a freelance writer and am still learning about construction. He has been in construction since we first met over 25 years ago.

We had fun watching "Catch a Contractor" episodes when I wrote for Yahoo Contributors (now defunct). We would watch the show together and I would ask my ignorant questions. Then, I turned his answers into helpful articles for Investors.

Without Yahoo Contributors being live anymore, I have been wondering what to put on our Facebook page to help others as they prepare for hiring contractors. Any ideas would be appreciated!

So far, my brainstorm list:

More "Catch a Contractor" reviews

Forms to use to help estimate rehab/remodel costs

and then my brain shuts down!

Mostly, I think of what clients get frustrated with that they didn't anticipate: permit delays, ordering doors or cabinets that are on back-order and cause delays, not specifying brands of paint colors, fixtures, etc. - there is such a variety of things that we know cause delays, but seem to surprise clients. I'd like to clear up some of those things so Investors are more prepared and educated about the process. Sound like a plan?

Again, thanks for any ideas!
