😀Am interested in partnering on some projects again, as I still enjoy the labor side, but want to learn much more about the nuance and strategies of RE Investing (thus BiggerPockets and considering the RE Exam).  

Not every property will have a place where you can put the machines, an obstacle which might stop the project before it even starts.If you have to sacrifice one unit for this, I'd be a lot less gung-ho on the "Pros".

Tell your contractor that you want to see him in action on another project before you give him your job.  3.

I work long hours at work and even longer on my projects.

An idea I came up with was to share a worker with a few other local investors, with each of us taking him one day a week to take care of whatever projects we need, and some sort of contingency if you need him more or less.

I would interview each candidate, ask for references, ask to see completed projects...ect. 

I would get referrals from investors you trust, have a clear scope of investment for your project first.Price is dependent on your deal complexity/size.

You can get 15% and they can count the projected rent as income towards your DTI.

Project awaiting city approval.

The upgrade from here is likely to take a while and be expensive and I am working on that project now.So... how does a live-in landlord with this problem go away for thanksgiving to visit family?
