Based on the questions you are asking I think you need to spend more time listening to podcasts like Bigger Pockets and Bigger Pockets Rookie.

Don't need to read the contract, find a new HML.

You can also search Google and read reviews.

@Benjamin Ying Did you take the time to actually read our response to your Q #1?

There are a lot of regs, but at least they are well defined.

I’ve been contacted by the Angi company but I’ve read a lot of negative comments regarding how the treat their contractors.

It will probably save you a lot of time and headaches to go that route.

Stories abound of people under contract (with numerous companies) to build homes and when they are about to close, the builder hits them with a huge price increase and it's take it or they sell to someone else for a lot more money. 

The city has a lot of momentum with major developments, population growth, and continued investment in infrastructure.That said, it’s not without challenges.

But I'd be happy to discuss more with you if you'd like!
