I'm looking for someone who does quality work and who can be trusted to not overstate or overcharge for the job based on hours or scope.

They definitely overcharged me.

The big issue I see online is that management companies might overcharge for repairs or add in fees here and there.

If your landlord does not do this, you have two choicesYou can refuse to pay the increase, orYou can pay under protest and later sue your landlord for the amount you were overcharged.

There are many ways to overcharge in a loan beside just interest rate.

While my father began teaching me this principle when I was young, I first started to notice its payoffs and take his advice to heart after starting my handyman business in 2010.The construction industry is notoriously known for no-shows, overcharges, and project extensions.

A flip can take three to four months when you're doing a cosmetic flip (new kitchen, new floors, new roof...etc).As for finding a competent contractor you simply have to interview them and see who actually takes notes, is reliable, gives suggestions, makes suggestions on how to find much more cost-effective finishes and does not over-charge then they're a good contractor but that contractor already has a ton of business.

For one, I am not sure if I was overcharged; for two, I don’t know how to make the insurance company pay up the difference.

Ended up paying $20k+ in legal fees and back rent because he overcharged him $50/mo. over the rent controlled amount.

Our payroll is running around $200K a year for 2 FT + 2 PT.INCOME = $465,720EXPENSE = $213,200NET = $252,520 ($21K profit a month)This leaves us plenty of wiggle room to offer resident retention programs, marketing programs, cover out-of-pocket upfront expenses, and maintain a healthy business operation WITHOUT overcharging our clients.Your assumptions:Renovation - 30-50% markup bet I'm close, hopefully not low by a bunch.
