When we end up getting a traveling worker from one of those companies, we always ask them who their contact is.

Also, I wanted the license to be able to pull my own building permits and do my own projects. 

Looking for some insight/ experiences from folks who have furnished rentals/ Airbnb in Anaheim (City requirement 31 day minimum unless you have a permit).  

After 18 months I still didn't have a building permit and decided to cut ties with the builder and forfeit my deposit. 

Example would be for a SFH fixer upper in grandma condition:   $10k for demo and permits and prep, $10k for wall removing and layout revising, $10k for basement framing, $10k for drywall, $20k for paint, $30k for flooring, $20k for kitchen, $20k for baths, $20k for any MEP upgrades, $10k for trim work, $10k interior finishes 

Are you up to date on all of your licensing and permitting to legally rent this duplex?  

I believe in community over competition personally, that's just my philosophy so I treat my workers really well so that they prioritize me and respond if I'm ever in an emergency and I share my referrals with friends and other investors who I am familiar with and they do the same for me.3.

I'm a hard worker and fast learner but for some reason this real estate thing has me beat.

do you have a background in, or access to expertise in, permitting and construction? 

I hired a contractor who left his workers unsupervised, they painted the whole house but did a terrible job because the paint didn’t stick.
