Love the idea of a meet-up event.  So busy, and likely can't make it.  

Open to gc or cm of multifamily.  Please pm me.

It really depends on the calliber of professional you choose to interview; sort through; reference check; background check; and choose to hire..  Minor investigating up front can help prevent a possible nightmare.

It could really go either way though..   So, you want to make sure you have a good gut feeling before you award a huge contract.   Learn to trust your instincts.

When I don't feel confident with a contractor, I divide the project into smaller portions to give their abilities a test drive on a smaller nibbler of the whole scope. Worst case scenario, if the contractor can't delive; you are free to adjust your strategy to bring on a do-er able to overcome performance deficiencies.

Other than door-to-door hangers, having kids run around a neighborhood, or begging for contracts from past colleagues; what is the best way to market an established, design-build/CM/general contracting business that took a few year hiatus..?  

Social Media Marketing seems to create phishi'y leads; linkedin is too (TBNT), Craigslist now charges...  

$1 Billion+ in construction projects delivered, and years later I am rusty about how to source new construction and general contracting leads..  What new strategies exist for entrepreneurs entering the market as self-employed after extensive success and career achievements?
