But if I hire a lawn guy to landscape around the office, I could call him an IC... as long as I don't instruct him on how tall to prune the hedges...

Some people need the instructions and measurements.

There are more entrepreneurs now than in the past and I see it will keep growing.As for value, the quote "You get what you paid for" holds true. 

I appreciate your response, i'm still having trouble; here is the instruction on bigger pockets website, The 70% Calculator is based on the "70% Rule of Thumb" which states that a rehabber should pay no more than 70% of the after repair value, less any repair costs or other profit needed.

There was some communication issues and I think the renovation contract needed to be more specific since usually I run things with my vision but this time instructions were coming from 2 different directions and so at some point we found ourselves debating on things that should have been resolved at the beginning with original contract.

Forgive the side trail, just eager to gain understanding in this arena so I can transition from employee to entrepreneur.

I can't see why they would call me without me giving a reason  and the funeral home would have asked if I didn't volunteer the info and lying is out......there is no probate in the county Navajo where the land is nor the county Maricopa where he last lived and instructions say to find the heirs and also in the case of being unable to locate someone to attempt to talk to relatives. 

It is a very detailed business and is sort of opposite the personality of most entrepreneurs/real estate investors. 

What it boils down to, is that tenants do not follow the instructions in the lease.1) They don't run heaters.2) They have furniture pushed up against the walls.3) They don't ventilate the units (some are SFH and some are multi-family)So here's my solution:When their lease has 60 days until expiration, I will pay a handyman to do an inspection.If they are not taking care of the unit, or they allow mold to grow, I will serve them a 60 day notice to vacate.  

It's called Central Ohio Real Estate Entrepreneurs (COREE) and they have one main monthly meeting and three monthly subgroup meetings. www.centralohioreia.com.
