@Brian Erlich -Very few (if any) excellent contractors are going to be willing to let the customer buy materials themselves.

Most of my long time HVAC customers either do electrical and plumbing or some combination of the trades.

I am reading that it is best to list customer security deposits under ONE liability account but list them by name so you can use an "item" to refer to them and issue a credit memo upon a tenant leaving.  

Your property manager is your employee (or company you are a customer of), make it clear that they are not fulfilling their obligations to communicate and forward you the deposits.  

I guess you can say that I have trouble selling ourselves to the customer, I'm trying to learn by shadowing my contractors when they're speaking to them. 

75 - 300 / sq' , i couldn't tell you, are you building a storage shed or a house with quartz or granite counter tops, marble floors in foyer / baths and decorative tiles in the baths, stained hardwood trim, custom kitchen and decorative trim throughout the house ?

I just want to keep all my customers in want place.

Both offices had a good handful of bodies at the locations along with a few appeared to be customers onsite, but i'm a little worried about all the fees and monthly expenses i was presented with along with the commision rates.

People will talk about the Indianapolis rust belt, but won't talk $1.3 million custom builds.

I want to start fresh with an app that will track customers, vendors, personal, colleagues, contractors, teams, etc.
