From this definition and my experience with the Multifamily Mindset and their employees, independent contractors, and sponsors they promote that is exactly what it is in my opinion.I joined the program in June of 2021.

I had a project bte me in the butt because I wasn't more diligent in "checking in" on the contractor.

What I would like to are some reading recommendations for learning the meat and potatoes on the processes of completing rehabs, and the processes of working with contractors?

I would say this, do you hire the cheapest contractor when you are doing a house because the pricey guys are charging too much?

My partner is a contractor in the area and if you need to connect and get some quotes or talk about any scopes of work, reach out anytime. 

Quote from @Polat Caglayan: 1500 sq ft and a mid-level renovation that complies with section 8 standards I would get a contractor out there 

That property was also supposed to be a few month flip, but I had to fire my contractor who I'd been working with on all my properties.

You can visit the property, contractors, etc where as Detroit will either involve longer travel or trusting someone on the ground when you arent physically there.

Sourcing reputable contractors via your network 2. 

Great place to meet other investors, agents, property managers, and contractors.
