Paulette, it is good to call out these bad contractors and unfortunately you are caught in a bad situation on what to do, start by a small threat that you will contact the BBB and report a claim if he does not show some progress, or if you know an attorney, maybe a simple letter from one may get him worried and he may start showing up.

VERY cool strategy and progression story.

My personal preference for a buy and hold would be an already established area (or an area that's still gentrifying, but has already seen significant progress). 

It’s not just awkward—it can jeopardize trust, relationships, and, ultimately, the deal itself.Here’s how we ensure success:1️⃣ Weekly Syncs: Regular team check-ins to align on progress and updates.2️⃣ Shared Systems: Use tools like Slack or Asana for real-time collaboration.3️⃣ Transparency is Key: If you don’t know, say so.

Wishing you the best as you navigate your journey—I’m confident you’ll make great progress! 

Another key change is making sure your contractor actually sticks to completion deadlines...why, because of how extremely tedious permit inspectors are getting in some cities, which can slow progress in and of itself.

We are not the right choice for everyone, but we do help hundreds of investors every year start and progress their investing goals.

Looking forward to seeing your progress and hearing about your first deal.

Not being on the ground makes it difficult to monitor progress and judge the quality of work.

Everything was progressing smoothly until I met the appraiser to provide access to the property.Right away, I sensed something was off.
