I have spent years estimating homes for Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Wells Fargo and many other banks and investors however, these customers are stable and consistent. This IS a skill perfected only through experience and repetition that unfortunately is not valued by the inexperienced investor. That usually is my red flag to politely decline the work. I have not had much luck working with independent investors largely because many are looking for a contractor that is willing to cut corners, work without permits and negotiate like we are selling them a used car. I have learned over the years that real money is made with quality materials, skilled labor and meeting deadlines. My advice to you would be to compensate before negotiate. Being a successful investor requires a competent general contractor to be part of the team or risk losing thousands due to a lack thereof. Watching a television show for a season hardly makes for a good reason to invest in real estate. Spend a lot of time on this site and attend conferences to educate yourself before making the leap. I still say the odds are better in Vegas without these skills.

Hi Everyone!

I found this site researching new equity investors in Illinois and BP looks like an amazing community of professionals. I am an experienced REO and private equity general contractor and am always available to assist anyway I can. In any event I look forward to becoming a contributing professional to the BP community. Have a blessed and profitable 2015!!
