Kennesaw Portfolio lender and title agent?

Question

Pavel Redko · Answer

@John Powell - I'm a disabled Army vet myself :-) If you have any experience in Electrical, that would be the route I would go if I had to pick another field (electrical contractor). The availability of capable and licensed contractors and laborers is already tight, and we're looking at a trade specialty with an average age of 50+. 8-10 years from now, most electricians will be retiring and we'll be seeing an unprecedented shortage. Setting up shop as a GC/residential contractor is a great route. The guys I know doing mid-high end remodels are staying busy, and my neighbor's rental rehab company is booming. Commercial construction is on an upswing - I've done office remodels before and the money can be better than what you'd see for the equivalent work in residential. You'll have to make sure to either qualify for licensing yourself, or find a partner that does.
