Quote from @Michael Simmonds: Hello BP Family,I am in need of a reputable builder/GC in Cape Coral who is willing to take on a partially finished new construction home. 

Note investors who think learning from people who scam others out of millions is a good idea and a way to have a good reputation in the space. 

So those fixed costs, like calling a plumber or replacing a fridge, are going to cost more, as a percentage of your rent, to handle.  

He is also giving me a bad reputation with my bank.

They have other nice benefits also such as not charging for appraisals if the deal doesn’t close, a great reputation amongst local listing agents with meeting deadlines/ great customer service/ getting the job done with no b.s. and they can often close in under 14 days. 

I went to someone who was considered a reputable broker and he said he had a great new program.

Agents like the one who sold you this property give us all a bad reputation.

Plus, you'd have no control over the brand, size, or capacity of any of these units.First, I'd want to see quotes from reputable contractors.

There's nothing wrong with seeking concessions if there are issues that arise in the report, but using this as a strategy will garner you a reputation within the community if you are repeatedly going under contract and then seeking large re-trades. 

Reputation and referrals matter.I invest out of state, and I’ve been burned by bad contractors before—it’s a fast way to lose money.
