@Dan DeGroffdefinitely don't 'partner.'

Make sure you understand what needs to be done and enter into a written change order with the contractor before he does the work.If you agree to a fixed price quote based based on a detailed scope of work, you should not care how the contractor makes his profit.On smaller light rehab. my partner who has a full time job and extensive general contracting experience runs the job and he splits the profits.

Network with investor-friendly professionals and find a mentor or accountability partner.

If you can nab an experienced partner or if the GC you're using is willing to sign a completion guaranty, that will make it easier.

My partner uses it to run a PM company and it's pretty good.
