if the timber is merch  you should get a mill in there to bid on the timber.. hire a logger.. profit you use to knock the stumps out.your civil engineer should be giving you a preliminary cost to do infrastructure normally they will do these for free since they will be designing it all.. they would be the best bet anyone on line is simply  a WAG  

I hired a GC to manage the build out, but there has been no consensus on who is responsible for the utility payments (Water and Energy). 

If I purchase a short-term rental property and hire a property manager to handle its management, would the income be considered passive under my visa status?

Or just start out collecting a fee or hire a third party to manage.As for a buyout down the road, you could put an agreement in place from day one that specifies a set time period that you will buy out the partner.

Given the bureacracy and corruption of the city government, I recommend hiring an experienced tax attorney to fight any assessment.

I haven’t had to hire out PM for my rentals yet but what I’ve been told is that 10% are good, 80% are mediocre/fine, and 10% are awful. 

.- Buy or scale quick enough to be able to hire a handyman full time (students are relentless)- Just tell your PM team to make the the tenants - life is easier that way

You will trust too quickly (hire a fake guru) or never trust at all (analysis paralysis) and find yourself stagnating.If you aren't working on yourself as a person, you aren't working on your business.

I can't do anything myself besides paint, so I hired a contractor because my real estate agent recommended that he could do alot of things and would be cheap.

Hiring a property manager to oversee things can also be a big help.
