However, it's probably an open and shut case, so you should be able to do it yourself.

I also feel called to service and so I’m involved with a local church. 

I am currently in the falls church Virginia.

Some factories were shut down due to COVID itself affecting work force.

Maybe I'm overly concerned, but I've been considering ways I can add water detection and automatic shut-off valves to the building.

With jobs, school, kids, church, and all the other obligations in our lives most people just don't have the available time, or they don't want to sacrifice their time.The investors that are advising you to take on the sweat equity generally have more time and they can trade that time for profits without sacrificing time with family, ect. 

We have a long standing meet up that is called Real Estate Church.

Last thing you need is a lawsuit to shut the whole deal down. 

If you try to "do it yourself" you will likely get shut down as you have experienced.
