Hi Eric, As you probably know, there is a license for most fields when it comes to construction.

I am a seasoned multi-and-single-family property manager in the Charlotte (and surrounding) area.Vendors: I always ensure to connect with at least three specialists in the same field, for example: carpet cleaners/replacements, roofers, emergency services (water extraction or organic growth remediation) this way when it comes time for their services you can get a bid from each of them.

., county surveyor, water district, etc. but no work has been done in the field.

I've looked at a lot of condos and houses in the past few weeks and from being in the field I can tell you that the transaction volume is picking up again - a lot of places are going into contract and prices are holding up well.My two favorite investment opportunities right now are single family homes in the top areas that your budget can afford and condos in buildings that were launched 4-6 years ago, are now in the market and have a lot of selling pressure because people who bought pre-construction want to sell and take profits. 

Been watching BP webinars for over a year and working in the RE field.

That said, if you have both the opportunity and desire to work with a successful firm in the field that you want to get into, that's always a great option. 

Those fields would be relevant if you were taking out a loan on the property.  

I really think Facebook Marketplace has been taking over in this field.

You're in a great field and you can save a ton of money by working and living at home. 

On that playing field, everyone's costs go up just to stay in the game, only to end up in exactly the same place competitively.Better to spend the money on acquiring (or trading up to) properties with really defensible differentiators like a great view, great location, or lots of bedrooms.
