Talk to other clients, go look at his current job site and see how clean it is, the quality of work, if the order of operations is making sense so far, etc.PS I'm a GC in the Nashville area and can take on a handful of clients in 2025 if you need me.

It’s exciting to hear you’re looking to scale up into larger multifamily investments—financial independence is a fantastic goal, and it sounds like you’re taking the right steps to get there.It’s great that you’re already focused on assembling a team and diving into market analysis.

My view: As the 10 year rises, markets with inventory get even more inventory and markets with limited inventory get even less inventory.

It can take a year or more to complete an ADU.
