My brothers and I have been in construction for over 20 years now and we hold, between us, a Florida General Contractors License and a Florida Excavation and Underground utility contractors license. When the crash happened in 2008 we closed our business, shelved our licenses and went to work for other more established contractors. Now we are in real estate investment and we hear so many horror stories from our colleagues. So we wanted to ask you: what would your dream contractor look like? What would they do or not do? What are your biggest pain points with contractors and what would your suggestion be to eliminate that pain? We want to take our license off the shelf and serve our industry, but we want to hear from you what the best way to do that is.

Thanks in advance for your input!

I am currently under contract to purchase and rehab an operating 182 unit marina in Palm Harbor, FL. The marina currently has 137 dry stack spaces and 44 wet slips. I have made minor design changes to take the marina to 196 dry stack spaces and 44 wet slips. These changes have been submitted to the AHJ's and I expect to have approvals soon. I have a lending commitment on the project and am now looking for an equity partner(s). Please feel free to contact me anytime for details. Thank you in advance for your interest.
