@Robert Gorra - I've had a similar experience where I've had a really hard time with getting GC's to even give me an estimate, and the few that have have been way overpriced (ie, they want me to put in $20k of cabinets in a budget flip) or have had their prices go up by about 40% and still not give me a firm price when I try to nail down the scope of work.

Your experience reminds me to manage the portfolio well (i.e. sell losers) and to be patient. 

With your experience and possible skillset, perhaps finding a company to sponsor you for a green card may be a better option?
