Hello Matt, are you only doing prefab wall panels, where they are assembled before delivery, or are you going to the next level with a full Prefab modular construction, where the units are completed at a factory and relatively minimal work is completed on site.One issue I have heard on the modular construction is the manufactures are sold out for this year.You might want to check out www.VuhausLLC.com/models they are doing high end modular construction.

Steal Industry, auto manufacturing, the facilitating things to these like coal mining, the decapitation of these industries in the US has left a trail of devastated towns and collapsed markets who have NOT come back and have no prospects of ever coming back to there former glory as the "thing" that put them there, is gone. 

2) Who are some reputable names?

Tesla's expanding footprint in the area in recent years has made Central Texas a hub for the electric vehicle industry.Examples of the biggest recent projects in the Tesla sphere are: the company itself taking more than 1 million square feet at Kyle/35 Logistics Park; supplier US Farathane Corp. taking an entire 410,000-square-foot building in Georgetown; and Hanwha Advanced Materials LLC building a $100 million, 200,000-square-foot advanced high-tech manufacturing facility near Georgetown.

As for doors, we learned the manufacturers sell to distributors for pre-hung frame manufacture.

These are reputable people who stand behind the properties they find and are reliable for ensuring a smooth transaction.

I guess I'm looking for mentoring from someone who's track record and reputation line up with my values and what I want to achieve.

Just be sure you fully understand the process to avoid any mistakes.When picking a firm, make sure to go with a reputable one.

If your looking for the least amount of risk and biggest bang for your buck I would look for a company that is a reputable turnkey provider thats actually in Detroit and offers things such as an efficient boots on the ground team, all sorts of established local relationships, solid in-house management, an operation that is highly skilled and well versed in section 8, a company that has proven relationships with both out of state and local lenders.

If you can't take criticism, you should quit all business and hide in the sand.What to take from this post, which always goes bonkers when people try to play, is that there is a better way to do things on here and in turn, that will help these agents get better business and build a better reputation and not tarnish a whole company's profile because they spam.
