Hello,I am not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but I am looking for a recommended plumber to service my Heritage Hill Home.  

Not sure how reputable/quality that site is yet...https://www.rentjungle.com/average-rent-in-raleigh-rent-trends/

My friend is not licensed, nor insured - but he knows construction and is sub-contracting out the work to reputable laborers from his personal network, some also uninsured.  

As I said, the seller is in a distressed situation and really pressed for the funds to take care of elderly parents, who are the original owners of the property.I was told by a reputable bank in my area that handles land lots loans, that I don’t have enough liquidity and I would need at least $100k in my bank account to move forward.

Or, is it a reputable GC who is looking for a steady supply of projects and looking to partner with an out of town investor?

When I think of reputable / national real estate companies most of them do better by diversifying geographically and taking the leap.

Having an electrician/plumber do it will cost a lot more.Pro tip: If it's a lot of pipe/wire, you could consider piling it into a trailer or similar and taking it in to a scrap place.

I find that carpenters are harder to find than plumbers or electricians, and much harder to get accurate estimates from.
