I have made some local connections for contractors to do something solo when my current projects wrap up. 

With your background as an electrician, contractor, and project manager, you have a unique advantage in real estate.

Having the contractor relationship in place to move quickly and provide a high quality renovation at a reasonable price.

Finding reliable contractors for out-of-state investments can indeed be challenging.

------------------------------------------------------------------------Here's our current guess: "The builder's plans and the build may not line up perfectly, so the buyer could sue for breach of contract or a similar claim."

Contractors that specialize in ADUs are all over LA too (and here on BP).

If a Designer or Contractor is proposing to remove a wall and does not think to check the structural integrity of said wall, then they are no one you should be dealing with.

Well anyone can write anything into a contract, but whether it is legal and enforceable is for the courts to decide...It is State law here that a contractor must call 811 or they are liable for the costs.

If a contractor listed you as a reference for a bathroom remodel and I came over to look at he work they did.

Hire a contractor to cut open the ceiling so it can dry out.
