Working with a reliable contractor was another smart move, making the rehab more manageable.Even though the profit wasn’t what you hoped for considering the time investment, you’ve gained valuable experience.

The best thing to do would be to consult an attorney, but likely, that is not an option for everyone starting out.I'm not an attorney, and this is not legal advice, but some of the information that we include in our contracts is:- A clear scope of work - Payment schedule / Milestones- Change order approval process- Allowances for finished materials- Reasons to terminate the contract- Expectations for start date (X amount of time after final plans /permits are received or X amount of time after the contract is executed)- General schedule and timeline (This is where you could specify an end date - however it may be better use incentives rather than liquidated damage if your general contractor is late - we've done both, but found General Contractors respond better to getting something if they get done early instead of being punished for being late. 

I have a house in Toledo, Ohio that I’m trying to get over the line with section 8 inspection.My contractor (who I know and trust) did significant work to ensure the house was up to code.The first scheduled inspection was cancelled by the inspector stating there were too many deficiencies, I endeavoured to reach out for details of the deficiencies but was met with silence and unable to get any info.The second inspection came back with a list of 18 items, some of which I consider petty, such as a small groundhog hole in the backyard.She is also asking for “Front attic window area and front fence needs a full house lead clearance examination by a licensed lead inspector “.

Waiting on registration details to be posted!! 

Add to that, it’s an election year, and federal and private funding are pouring billions into new infrastructure, keeping every general contractor and builder busy with jobs.

When I was wholesaling, the hardest thing to do was to find reliable contractors who could get the job done and not leave the house a total mess. 

I'm a Real estate investor new to the middle TN market and am looking to build a team of agents, lenders, contractors etc.

Had to go back and transfer $ back and forth.Best name I saw was a contractor that was DFM construction - his name was Jesse so I was like oh what does DFM stand for, he said as a subcontractor its what I want you to do.

I live about 1.5 hours away so I hired this project manager and a licensed contractor to manage the project.
