That being said, depending on which state you're in he could file a mechanic's lien on your house. $3,000 for the amount of work you described in those changes is highway robbery.From both contractor's and a REI perspectives I always, always, always have written contracts.

Confirm that the provider has experience with the particular investments in which you intend to invest your retirement funds as you very likely will have questions in terms of the mechanics (e.g. how do you invest in real estate, etc.).4.

My father in law is a cert. election, my father a mechanic and all of my brothers are in the trades as well.

We also like to buy most of the windows/doors/mechanicals etc to avoid the 20-25% they scoop.So far it's worked for us, as they will move on to other projects before yours is complete so they definitely need an incentive to finish ON-TIME & on-budget !!!

But also as noted, nearly anyone making $15+ an hour dual income can afford that, the Costco guy the Amazon worker the airport mechanic.

They know that most of their clients don't have either the time or the skill to do it themselves, and so just like taking your car to a mechanic you need to be able to trust the person or company that you hire.

Have put around $9,000 in to get the mechanicals and curbe appeal up to How did you finance this deal?

However, as in the US, Australia has provided mechanisms to help alleviate double taxation.

@Kris Bennett  The majority are service providers on the buildings 10,000sqft or less(HVAC, plumbers, mechanics, industrial cleaning company, equipment rental stores, etc.) with some light manufacturing mixed in.

That is my coping mechanism.
