Every time my husband (who either does or supervises all the work on our properties) suggests that we partner with one of the many friends who have asked to get in on the action by partnering with us, I have said, "NO, no way in hell, NEVER. 

So if you don't have it, find someone who doesWork - roll your sleeves up and get ready, because whether you're swinging the hammer yourself or just supervising the contractors who are, you will do a lot of workAll this is to say, there are dozens of different ways to get into REI.

Dear BP community.I was wondering, is there a supervising agency that oversees the work of the title companies?

@Logan GrahamYou would have to find a property management company and work under their direct supervision with a license.You don't go to a random broker that isn't doing property mgmt to hang your license.

I know many don't want to pay anything but if was a legitimate issue caused by work under my supervision, I would feel partially responsible for the incident.

They start you with a hand-ons step by step approach that is truly supervised by one of the mentors and you get tons of assistance from other students/investors.   

It also might be illegal-- in my jurisdiction collecting rent money is real estate activity and can only be done by the property owner or someone acting under the supervision of a broker.

What I'm saying is that if the general contractor does a free walk through with me before I even make an offer on a house and if I get the contractor to give me a more accurate rehab estimate after my offer is accepted(during the 10 day inspection period) and is under contract how will/should I structure payment to him if I just want to use his sub contractors and if I want to do the managing part as far as scheduling and supervising/overseeing the whole project myself as I don't want to add an extra 10-30% on to my cost as my capital will be pretty limited when I start?  

I just want that son to be supervised when he visits, and not stay over night.
