@John Morgan Thank you for your response. You actually painted a great picture in my head. So essentially the entire rehab bid of $25,000 is already including his payment.

@Jeff C. he actually wants 40% of rehab budget up front.  Since it was my first deal with him and I only had $15k, I sent him what I had.

I'm not disagreeing with you as I think that advice is generally solid, but when you find A+ contractors (which he is), I'm only slowing him down by not sending him money upfront.

I'll probably send him 50% rehab budget on my next flip using him he's that good.

Thank you for your reply! And is 40% a little high? I though the typical pricing could be in between 15%-25% of the rehab cost.

I am fairly new to the world of real estate and I am still trying to learn the basics on how to start a house flip! How do you go about paying a contractor? If I do a rehab of $30,000 does the contractor take a percentage of that $30,000? And should that percentage be including in my total rehab?
