(the actual construction work) Do any of you have a project plan that outlines the phases of the project and activities in the phases? 

In the education phase, i want to find a potential duplex conversion property somewhere to BRRRR and get the ball rolling.

They want their leasing broker to do that and only present sites that have merit to go to the next phase.

Paint and drywall are behind because the city couldn't get power to the site in time, making it impossible to keep the heat high enough for the finish material to cure properly, pushing every other phase out, and this isn't the only project in town.

As for the shop, you’ll definitely need to have a phase 1 environmental study done as part of your due diligence.

@Chaithra Kumar, I am in initial phase of similar project in DFW market.We can sync up this week over phone, if you available.

I live in LA, am new to REI and have been in the learning and research phase.

If you maintain ordered and timely communication between all involved parties, have excellent interpersonal skills, are business-minded and un-stubborn with eternal patience for customer interaction and able to remain calm and professional in any discussion environment, then you're a cut above most of the field.As far as growing into top-tier, decide what demographic that means in your community and break into it. 98% of my work is client referral and over the years I've moved past the "hungry" phase of doing anything for anyone, having my hourly be sliding scale, etc. and into being busy with work that I actually like doing and what I want to be doing.

When you begin creating a budget for the renovation phase, add an additional 10% as a buffer.

I'm not opposed to getting my own group of works and have them doing everything, but I think I would prefer to get started by doing most of the work myself.My Business would be progress into a couple phases.
