Seeking New Construction Cost Details from a Supt or PM (barter?)

[Chris Sellers]

Hello!

I'm looking for some residential construction intelligence in the Charlotte area.  Specifically the current competitive rates for new construction trades and materials (e.g. foundation, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, trim carpentry, painters, tile work, brick layers, roofers).  Also some tips for good / bad subs you've experienced would be great too.  Perfect source is if you're a current Residential builder, Supt or PM for a builder who wants to get into investing in rental units.

I can trade tips / guidance on residential rental income and/or investing in real estate with a self directed IRA. I don't have any earth shattering secrets you can't find in books, but I can share actual experiences, timelines, prices, rehab costs, insurance costs, rental roles, property management and tips for how I've created a 19 unit portfolio worth almost $1M and generating over $100k annually inside my IRA, starting from a relatively small initial investment.

Maybe we could swap 1-2hrs each?  Over phone / skype works for me (in person ok too).  

Thanks!

Chris
