Do you have a full-time job already, assuming you have extra time, do you want to spend it doing another brain-draining task or would you rather spend it enjoying yourself?

Quote from @Rajagopalarao Paidi: How much value goes down for a house with foundation issues, found a house for FixNFlip, they mentioned it has foundation issues and they got them fixed, but whats the value reduction from market price , How safe it is to purchase house like these Not safe at all unless you have an INDEPENDENT inspector who really knows foundation issues gets all the documentation from the seller and talks to the seller’s contractor and then conducts his own inspection of the foundation, house, and surrounding lot.

I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the site so far.At this stage, the biggest thing to focus on is your strategy and how much time you can commit.

I am looking for contractor referrals he can trust.

but it's really, really tough right now as there is limited inventory, tremendous competition for deals, money is expensive, and good contractors are booked up.the equity in your home is an example of very expensive money. 

Or is the new builds basically thousand small contractors ? 

You are allowed to enjoy your real estate.It doesn't make sense to me to move out of the home you bought just to rent another house unless you were moving states.

And tell them you have other resources too (i.e. surveyors, contractors, etc).Thats what will help you land investors. 

I hired a contractor who left his workers unsupervised, they painted the whole house but did a terrible job because the paint didn’t stick.

It doesn’t matter whether the use is under a lease, a service contract, or some other arrangement.Exceptions.
