These are people who just called in for a showing and were apparently given the code by the agent with no one there to supervise.

However, you can log the time you spend coordinating with or supervising the contractor, such as meetings, phone calls, and site visits.

A modest markup on material will insure they are still in business the next time you need them.From my position now as a landlord/investor I will work with labor only contractors for smaller stuff but I expect I will need to provide a certain amount of supervision during and verifying after completion.

If i had been paying out of pocket and supervising the work, I could have done it for $13k, max.

If you don't get a rejection, call the agent's supervising broker, if that doesn't help call the State Realtor Association and file a complaint.

Bought the property, supervised and/or did all the remodel work, sold the property, etc...and we did a 50/50 split.Granted that your knowledge is worth a lot as @Adam Bartomeo says, but if you don't have a huge amount of construction experience, then i do not think that a 50/50 split is fair to your brother....maybe more like 70/30 or at most 60/40...

They neglected to mention that SROs (single room occupancy, aka lodging house, aka rooming house) also means likely very high maintenance, necessitating supervision and hands-on management.The property had just dropped out of contract because the first buyers couldn’t get bank financing.

"Trust, but verify" when so much is on the line.What To Do:Verify that everything is proceeding according to plan.Google Maps makes the distance from Granite City, CA to Colusa County, Ca (no specific location) as around 87 miles, hour and a half or so travel time.For those reading to learn, I would think the take-aways include that your personal availability to supervise and monitor such a project should probably be part of the decision process of whether to proceed with the deal.My $0.02 ...

They need to be done by or under the supervision of the architect stamping.
