What is the best billing method to use with a contractor?
Last night I had a meeting with a potential contractor for two simultaneous rehabs. We talked about the different ways that we can work and how he gets paid: cost plus, fixed price, etc
I would like to know how other pros are structuring their payments and what is the preferred method of billing. I am interested in finding out what method produces the best results for the least money.
