@Evan Polaski - amazing recommendations on the quality of materials.

What do you want out of a GC:  Someone who has lots of quality sub connections, someone who doesn't soak you with their fee on top of Sub costs, someone who will be there to oversee manage the quality and speed of your project at least 3x per week and be in constant communication through calls and pictures. 

Beyond the financial benefits, this investment also provides an opportunity to spend quality time with my children and grandchildren, as we work together to manage and grow this asset.

Lead Sherpa is a quality program, but its not cheap.

I understand the arrangement is certainly different, but from a practical standpoint it isn't much different than a licensed GC staffing a team of laborers, who are actually doing all the work, and the GC checking in on quality of work.  

Glad you found someone Jon, I really hate seeing Business Owners struggle or go under because of low quality Bookkeepers that don't make accurate financials for the Owners to make better decisions. 

I use quality TP from Sam’s Club and supply 3 full rolls in each bathroom, adding a fourth for up to 7 night stays.

When they move to a new area, they hire a quality local property management firm to manage the rental for them longer term. 

@Keaton WrightGiving quality and sometimes very detailed answers in the forum takes us quite a bit of time (and therefore money) for which we're not remunerated.

Hey there @Javian Moorman - Did you ever end up finding a quality and cost-effective countertop contractor in Chicago?
