I'm an investor moving from Ann Arbor Michigan to Nashville (Mt Juliet specifically) and am looking for contractor recommendations for a general remodel for my new home.

You try stuff and if it fails (and aren't wiped out), you learn from your mistakes and try something different.Now the question becomes the best ways for me to increase my passive incomes to create this income stream I need (the wellsprings of cash that outrun my growing expenses [healthcare in old age] and inflation).

We are both currently in healthcare.

The industrial and healthcare industries in Temple are constantly growing and the city is expanding like crazy. 

Make sure you figure in Health Care.  

I’m familiar with Commercial Development and Construciton work in the United States, as I’ve been working as the Chief Estimator for a Retail/Healthcare General Contractor in California for 15 years.

I want to keep working until 50 minimum so that I get my employer's retirement healthcare stipend, but would like to "retire" to pursue REI full time as early as possible after that. 

Not until the economy is freed from socialized healthcare.

@Nathan Hall, I was a fan of Ann Arbor clubs too.

My wife is in health care too.
