Get a contractor law attorney?

I enjoyed the hard labor and comradery that I missed from my Navy days working in engineering.My question is, how do I go about getting more experience on paper without having to commit to an employer/contractor for a long-term position? 

She says she notices it in bed and has to put the bed a certain way (like with head on higher part).This doesn't seem to be enough of a problem where any part is unlivable or that requires immediate attention, but the main jist of this post is, where would I start or what type of business or contractor could I start with to find out about this?

It’s on track to do over 45k gross as a STR with current bookings, but may end up closer to 55k as I get mostly last minute bookings (a lot from contractors needing a big enough space to house their crews).

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

Quote from @Connor Chatlos: If your Broker is worth their salt, they will have an Independent Contractor Agreement with you that spells out responsibilities, commission splits, etc.

Looking to have some repairs done and need to find local contractors that I could hopefully build long term relationship with.

It just seems that with all the work and risk involved in finding your own property, managing contractors, and then finding and managing the property manager, the return on the SFR investment should be signifcantly higher than the syndication. 

Additionally, I collaborated with architects, engineers, and contractors to finalize the design and construction plans for a stackable duplex.
