It became a bidding war between these two buyers where the last buyer won the contract at $210,000.

They make a great show up front during the bidding phase, but then we found them to be largely inept and slow to respond.

I had him give me bids for some other jobs but after my bad experience with him and a heated argument, I told him to forget about the other projects and just finish up the doors and be on his way.It was stressful for me, but what helps balance it is to remember that YOU are in charge.

Fiverr and Upwork both have some outstanding individuals on there that will quickly give you a bid depending on the number of pages you are looking to build.

In the meantime, they can provide you with a scope of work that you can use to get contractor bids.   

We build cost plus, so our fee is set and the client/owner is responsible for the labor/material costs during the build whether they end up being lower, higher or right at the estimate/bid price for the bank.This is really up to him to do. 

I mean if you go to buy a car and offer the dealer the advertised price , then someone else walks in at that moment, and says I want to buy the same car , the dealership doesn’t make you bid highest price! 

Last bid was $8400 to take out and dispose or could leave it in the yard for $1900. 

Its nice to have the little stuff taken care of, but I'd get bids on larger repairs rather than automatically going with their guys.

I’m currently bidding my time and rebuilding the war chest while we rehab the most recent 5 units and get them rented.
