Defense contractors gobbling up hundreds of billions of dollars in federal contracts while making civilian aircraft that falls off the skies, because they want to cut corners and squeeze every penny they can out of production?

Not an expert here but my Brother is a heavy equipment operator in Northern CA and did a lot of the fire clean up when those fires happened and he mentioned contractor might need hazard waste removal license..

The excuse contractors always give is that they need the funds for materials.

In south Florida, there are a ton of free RE networking events where contractors, agents, mortgage brokers, etc all meet for drinks etc and I have found this to be a great way to find good people in the business.

Also, grow your contractor lists, maybe make posts about their work.  

NMLS registration is a bonus because you can look them up on the federal registery to make sure they are real..

You can get screwed on changing markets and unreliable contractors though.  

One challenge was coordinating rehab work within tight timelines to minimize holding costs, but we navigated it by hiring a reliable contractor.

I’ve done many flips and always had the correct insurance, so this foolish oversight proved costly.The Silver Linings:My Contractor: My contractor went above and beyond.

I'm a licensed contractor focused on interior remodels, and a realtor as well, reach out if you have any questionsBest,Ryan
