Due to the volume of business we give them we expect priority service and volume pricing.We are trying to get them to take before and after pictures of the job they are doing to be able to upload it in our portal so the owner can see what was done (that has proven to be a bit of a challenge with 3rd party contractors) our in-house maintenance team is required to take pictures and video of any job they do.

What would you say were the top 3~4 challenges you had to deal with in stabilizing that property?

Should we challenge it?

Finding a contractor to move in mid job has been a challenge and so far I have lost about 3 weeks in the rehab process. 

I'm not trying to minimize your efforts but to alert you to the challenges of marketing in most every community where there are so many buyers with money chasing so few opportunities at the the moment.

Go to school, get good grades, go to college, get a good job when you graduate, save for retirement, work 40 years for a company, you'll be okay.You're challenging that. 

I have a good grasp on what I can get siding, windows, trim, interior/exterior doors, decks, guttering roofing, flooring, landscaping and concrete done for and who to use/where to source materials, along with electrician/plumbing -- lacking site prep, foundation/framing/roof trusses cost -- I could get the cost of the rough in from a buddy who runs a plumbing co.My challenges are A - not being able to be there all day to run things, and B - still missing some of the key contractor connections.  

My big challenge I see in front of me is breaking into and building a network of local investors.
