He then went out and got a property and used our contractor and is now almost done with the rehab.  

One stop shop, I just tell my contractor that if any of the materials are bad to no install them and call me and send pictures so I can deal with it.

Every contractor I had on the hook backed out for timing reasons or the job was too small.

My agents are 1099'd as they are independent contractors.
