Wow police that's outrageous. what we do in Orygun is flaggers are all women owned business's and that's how the contractors are able to maneuver city state contracts that require a certain amount of minority owned business. 

Even in the Covid era I've found that contractors are still asking top dollar for overhead and profit, making many projects unfeasible. 

That’s the magic of real estate compounding over time, and it’s stories like yours that really highlight this.. from what i read in the street journal, that slow build often outperforms shorter-term stategies.From an investor-friendly agent’s perspective, being willing to dig into the neighborhoods (driving for dollars) and having a robust network.. from probate attorneys to local contractors.. can pay off big.

PTO days you can tackle this stuff with the contractor as the mentor and do..

With your background as an electrician, contractor, and project manager, you have a unique advantage in real estate.

Finding reliable contractors for out-of-state investments can indeed be challenging.
