We paid him about 80% of his fee, he hadn't completed the project and it turns out all the work he DID do wasn't done correctly.If there is anyone that can provide some advice on how to deal with a situation like this, it would be greatly appreciated.We feel like we really got "screwed" on this one especially because we tried to follow all the correct steps in hiring a GC.

I waited until I knew enough about investing, to reduce my risk, before I pulled the trigger and made my first purchase.I'm taking massive action to acquire properties over the next 5-6 years and take advantage of the low interest rates.

I expect it'll be a slow curve here at the beginning with other projects going on, but I want to keep in on my radar and have some of the information coming my way.

This is a project that requires a city permit FYI, but if you are installing windows on a house you live in, you can pull the permit yourself.My husband and I replaced all the windows on the house we live in now - it was one of our first renovation projects.If you hire a contractor usually they will want to purchase the windows themselves, and that cost is included their quotes along with the labor cost for installation.

I've been called that from about 6yo.My personal preference is to start small but not knowing to much about the game here is limiting my view on how far I can make the 200k go without being able to borrow funds (and which market I ultimately choose to invest)I have completed a 2 page business sketch stating that I'm happy with 2-3 projects in the first year as I'm not putting a ton of pressure on myself time wise.

Recommend you double check your expense data and projected mortgage info to make sure analysis is correct.FYI ...

The need is for a GC to oversee and carry out the completion of a rehab project.

Hey @Tim Kaminski I am also looking for a multifamily for our next project and have come across a few opportunities. 

Why would anyone pay 20% of a deals value just to get the green light for a project?
