Their objective, quite honestly, is to preserve as much of their savings as possible to pass down to myself or their grandkid(s).

A GC that needs to keep a crew busy when work slows is going to view this completely different as their objective is to keep their crew busy.No way I'm going to do an intense rehab which is very time consuming and make the same % profit as a carpet & paint deal that is only a few hours to line up the work.

We will be entering the commercial market and are searching for an organization that will have the experience to lead this shift.I am interested in Maui Mastermind and I am absolutely baffled that when searched on here, there are no posts, no blogs, and only three members who reference them in their profiles.

For a few days I fell into the much dreaded shiny object syndrome.  

Have them bid on the total job, c material costs, rather than pay a GC to organize them all.

I'm not affiliated with his organization, but I've found their material very helpful and informative!

I have looked at this objectively from every angle, so far, the probability of price fixing is the only viable answer.How can they all increase rates around 33 to 38% in two years without a justification of price values, costs to re-build, etc.?

I've heard mint is a valuable tool, especially for staying organized financially.

It's not exactly a conflict of interest, but it certainly calls objectivity into question.

Thanks for organizing all that information and posting this, Tyler.
