Also on the lookout for ideas and materials and homes you can make tenant and idiot proof.

I have another call tonight and will be very interested to hear what actionable steps will be taken to ensure better booking rate and higher ADR.If someone has another coach with a more reasonable rate structure with good curated learning materials, I would be very interested to hear.

Ask local materials distributors which contractors pay their billing on time, and who order materials consistently.Go to some local REI meetups and ask for referrals.Look at local jobsite and take note of truck signage.Of course verify their licensing, here's a link https://lni.wa.gov/licensing-permits/contractors/hiring-a-co...

I am just saying that most people have a better chance making more money by trying to be better at their day jobs and win some raises and promotions, instead of entering a new career in Real Estate. 

I'm not self promoting.

One lesson learned: Create a good relationship with contractor and shop around for the best pricing on materials.
