I was wondering how crucial it is to go through a mentor ship program or a Joint Venture.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with cruise lines, but the Norwegian Cruise line just announced a 400 million add-on to dock 1 mile away from our Belize properties.

As we grow, it takes more people to help steer the ship.

Even though I'm far away, all orders ship directly to you from the manufacturer and shipping is included.

YOu can pay for material and just get a labor price and have it dropped off and request that pictures be taken .I am a contractor and the bid you had I would get a second bid at the end of the day the contractor is out to make the highest profit he can the same way you do , so if he can charge 18K for a 14K job he will the same as a flipper charging 120K for a 100K home and can get the price.Laurn there are also alot of bad but alot of good contractor also , name of the game with a contract is building a relationship with the better the relation ship the more you will get out of him sometimes you will get better #.

A 3000 sq ft house, 2 car garage, and walk out basement right near the community dock on the river.

Large big box is reducing it's footprint and putting some warehouses closer by for faster shipping to houses and stores.   

I finally jumped ship on corporate america and I'm do Real Estate investing full time.

He took off and we are in litagation...It would have SOLD by now had he done so but that ship has sailed.

It sounds like you run a very tight ship.
