Kind of like paying a doctor to take blood, or give routine shots.

I get you, I use to work for an eye doctor and would talk and deal with patients all day and it can be draining but you push through and try to deal with them the best way you can.

As a custom woodworker I would want to doctor up the property to an extreme level, is it more fiscally inteligent to rehab a property with a general look, or is there a good return value in premium details?

It just seems with the amount of complaints from clients on GC's, it seems to be a line of work where there is more dishonesty than usual because of the amount of power they wield, such as lawyers and doctors, except without all the required education required.

I've tried craigslist, but most of the responses are doctors from the UK who are moving to the US with their daughters and need to have their hospital send me a check.

But I’m also not a doctor so my time requirements for my work a probably a lot different than yours.  

I get mine from: other whole sellersmeet up groupsasking/ marketing to industry professionals: (i.e. attorneys, doctors, accountants (high net individuals) and then other professions (as is not good to judge ;) ) Looking at previously flipped homes: (just sold or just bought)look for "cash only" remarks on MLS of 'sold' homes (then looking on title) cross net-work with investors in other industries (as investors like to diversify their portfolios) and are already or will be looking to buy real estate. the list goes on... 

Talk to your dentist, doctor, business people.

Jeremy,first let me say how sorry I am for you and your family about your impeding loss.My went through it myself with my Dad two years ago and know how it feels.Now down to business before it gets to late.First,get a lawyer and help your father in law and his family get ready for the transition.Doing it now will save a ton of heartaches and misery later.He needs a will and living trust to spell out exactly who gets what and how much.It will save time and trouble getting the assets transferred to the heirs with minimal hassle and costs and help ease your father in laws mind.Second,get a Power Of Attorney set up now before his mind is declared by his doctor and lawyers to be legally incompetent(I wish I had done this!).

Suppose I was told by my doctor I needed an operation withing the next 15 days and I did not have insurance or enough insurance to pay for my operation and recovery time but I have a house.
