Thanks @Matthew Paul. My expectation was not to challenge the contractor on the quoted prices and expect them to change, but simply to educate myself and try to understand some guardrails so I know how to approach the bids.  For example, for concrete or fence, the sq ft price was pretty consistent between contractors ... so I could go with the highest bid (since it wasn't that much of a difference) if I felt they would do a better job and I felt good about the company.  

Greetings Bigger Pockets! I am working on my first ever rehab project ... all thanks to Bigger Pockets, it's amazing content, books, and all the feedback and input I received from all the members.  Never thought I would be working on my business, but here I am!! 

I'm installing tile on my rehab in Dallas, TX.  I have all the tile (includes all floor and bathroom tiles), so only need the labor.  I asked a few contractors for bids but what I'm getting in return varies wildly -- from $4,200 to $15,000 -- again, this is for labor only (I'll also purchase the materials for the install).  Tried to look up some info that could give me an idea of a good "per sq. ft. price" or something similar, but nothing.  

Does anyone here have an idea on a reasonable price for tile install?  Please help.

Scope: Floor tile (6X48) that looks like wood, subway tile in bathrooms, and other hex (mesh) tile on the shower floor. 

Thank you @Jaysen Medhurst! Didn't know we had a Dallas forum.  

I am looking for a tax professional that can help with some tax planning and business tax preparation. I did a basic search but have not had much luck. I am in Carrollton, TX.

@Scott White In all honesty, I haven’t done much in terms of investing in the “business” side. I’ve read plenty of articles on BiggerPockets, but realize there’s still much more to do there.

@Joe Tomko I honestly have not looked at anything besides residential rentals. Not because I’m not interested but more so because I was trying to focus on one niche.

I will most definitely look at investing delinquent notes as another option.

Do you have any recommendations on how where to get started?

@Bill Plymouth Great information! Thanks for responding to my post.

@Jaison Emmanuel I appreciate the advice Jaison! Partnering is something I will definitely consider and will likely pursue right away.

@Keith Nelson Absolutely! Thanks Keith. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post. Wish you the best.
