Do what I say NOT what I do Undocumented workers

[Jon Keeney]

I am a newbie in the Houston market.  I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and have managed projects.  My goal is to rehab and sell.  I understand the need to use licensed/insured tradesmen for electrical, HVAC, plumbing,roofing and I will easily be able to obtain W-9, copy of insurance.

However, my plan for flooring/sheetrock/painting/siding is to use sub contractors that may not be able to produce a legitimate W-9, may not have insurance, etc.

Is this a bad decision?
