Sounds like someone didn't read their contract and do their due diligence. These types of agents are why we are in business.


 You're clearly don't comprehend well. This is my due diligence.

I am hiring a RE agent for a rental I have in DFW. In the contract it states she gets 100% of 1 month's rent if a tenant they found renews. Also, if they sell to a tenant, they get 6% of the sell price. Are these common now? I don't remember ever seeing this years ago.

Wesley,

I own some land in Lehigh Acres and looking to build some quadplexes. Let's connect if you have contacts in the area especially a GC...

Quote from @Wesley Davis:

Going off of Stephens comment, it is very important to check the local zoning codes and future land use. If it can be used for what he is saying also be aware that if it requires a rezoning that is an 8-10 month process (sometimes over a year) before you even break ground and could cost up to $30k+. Picking up land cheap and taking it through rezoning to add value is a great business model but if you have never gone through this process, it is wise to consult with a licensed professional. This is also not a self-plug as I am an architect and rezoning is for Civil Engineers and Land Use Attorneys. While I know some that can help, I do not profit from the referral. I like building vertical not horizontal.

Never got the idea of keeping contractors to yourself. I'm sure they would want you to share their information...

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the real estate investing world and I am currently in the process of building my team of professionals. I'm accepting of any recommendations for contractors who believe in a good days work! If you're a contractor yourself, please reachout for opportunities even for yourself! I am looking to get into the flipping business in my local market and markets nationally. 

Thanks! 


 Go to your local RE meetings, hang out at Home depot Nobody is going to give you their contractors. I have 25 guys I never share. :) 

BTW, see if you ca find a deal 1st :)

All the best

I am looking for a contractor to build a spec house on a lot I have in Lehigh Acres, FL. I would like to chat first and go from there. Looking for someone that has experience in dealing with the local nuances of building in the area and dealing with the city.

I have identified a neighborhood in the Fort Worth area that I’d like to try my hand at new construction in. I have experience with fix and flips, rentals but I’ve never done any construction. Are there any lenders in the DFW area that are lending on spec houses? Any contractors in the area? Looking for any and every piece of info I can find. Based on the area, I have about half the amount I need to buy the land and build in cash but of course I’d love to finance the entire thing with as little out of pocket money as possible. I would even be interested in parterning with someone in the area on this.
