Mortgage brokers can become a middle men and a filter, slow down decisions and communication, pick a loan that pays more commission - I have had mixed results.

They might have deals for you, should know handy men, and might even have some contractors they'd recommend since they tend to work with investors more than your average real estate agent.

Yes, it could be called sexist saying women are just better at PM then men, it's also a statistical fact and truth.

The four richest men in in the state died poor because they could not stop themselves from buying more and more land to develop even while the boom was crashing around them.

Good example, I had a slight pricing and supply chain issue on some needed materials, I could have thrown $ at the problem but instead I made some calls and I bought a partial rail car of the material, lined up my own motor carrier, was able to cut 2 middle-men out of logistical chain, 1 1/2hr drive to rail yard to personally supervise and we got out materials, faster than anyone could deliver, for 30% discounting AFTER all associated costs.

In addition, the overwhelming majority of real estate agents I've met couldn't put together a decent scope of work if their lives depended on it, and can't reliably manage to wipe themselves after every trip to the crapper, let alone a residential renovation.Way too many men in this country pretend to know all about residential construction, maintenance, and renovation.

I expect removing one tank would have been around $4000 with the cost of needing all the equipment and at least 5 of the men.

That way nobody's wasting any time.Brokers are pretty great because, yes they are middle men, but they broker to wholesaler lenders, not retail lenders.

At 16, he had a team of 30-year-old men working for him.

Since we have several family members/friends in the area along with several maintenance/handy men on standby we feel that we can manage ourselves outside of cleaning and occasional maintenance.
