I also want to spread the good word about why the industry should hire veterans. 

Once you find a property, hire a professional property manager who can make sure you comply with the laws and get you great tenants so you can build long-term wealth! 

Does anybody have any advice on what to put on a contract when hiring a GC?

When your property is relatively inexpensive, say $200k, and you want cost segregation applied to it - is it worth it to hire a cost segregation firm and pay their fee? 

I hired a contractor who was recommended to me from the agency who sold me the home. 

so even though I enjoy coaching, I can only justify doing it if the income from the coaching justifies hiring someone else to do another one of my responsibilities.

This is more common for commercial (5+ units, often lenders in this category want the owner/operator to have experience self managing or hire professional management), and not very common 4 units and under, IME.  

They will be able to guide you in the right direction and tell you if your project is feasible or not.From there, we hire outside consultants to take the plan through the approval process.

I’m not looking to be the GC (obv) on this and will be hiring a GC.
