We've got all the major paint suppliers and I'm more than willing to pay for long lasting products so I don't have to re paint often. 

Not only can contractors place a lien on the property , but a subcontractor who hasnt been paid , as well as the supplier of materials who hasnt been paid .  

His subs and suppliers , if they havent been paid will file a lien against your property .

So you provide the cabin supplier, arrange all necessary connections and permits then hand it off to a PM and charge a fee for your services.So to do that all you need to do is go into local council and establish what the rules are for portable dwellings.

This way you learn who are the suppliers and the process of building.

As the private money mortgage suppliers are having a tough time offloading these loans to wallstreet, I personally, as well as a few other investor friends struggled to close private money refinances since February, with time tables being around 6 weeks.

If this is a cost plus, you need not to give him money, he will have to give you the quote, then you issue a check to the supplier everytime he buys them (your local homedepot calls this "managed account services"), for small items, he needs to fund it (or you expose $1000 as revolving fund, to be deducted at last payment). for all material receipts, he will have to keep all of it, and bill you a certain % from the total amount, if  doesn't give you the receipt, it doesnt exist (good way to keep your receipts too, have him submit it to an envelope along with a tape/tabulated excel printout). for payroll, you will negotiate a specific rate per trade (all inclusive to lessen litigation issues), and you will have to pay him 2 calendar days after he sends his payroll (maybe friday after work hours, or saturdays preferred). for your safety, be sure to get a waiver of subrogation on all of his insurances naming you as additional insured, call your local agent for this, they know best.

This city and its hotels are set up for such events more so than anywhere.I think the event should consist of 2 days (Thursday-Friday) or Friday-Saturday)It should contain experienced speakers in their respective fileds with NO upsells to products or programs.A panel of experts where the entire session is Q&ASeveral speakers educating on both starting out and advanced strategies.Wants and Needs time (Ask for a deal or have a deal)BP site questions and announcements - Speaker Josh DorkinVendors (limited to servcie providers such as title companies, escow, attorneys, CPA's, inspectors, perhaps reps from Lowes/HD and other suppliers for rehab investors, property managers, etc.Venors charged would pay for banquent room, any food supplied by BP, any material costs incurred by BP, etc.Perhaps some fundraisers by BP Members to help support a few who could otherwise not afford to go.

Your creditors,utility suppliers,employees, arn't in this.

I would try to find a local supplier and look for all wood cabinets with nice construction.
