If you can find a competent and trustworthy contractor, you can make it work.

The Contractor is wrongly blamed for job over-runs when it is usually the clients fault.

My wife and I are real estate investors based in Katy, and I/we are looking to connect with local investors, real estate agents, property managers, and contractors in the area.

Quote from @Yvonne Wang: First time working with a contractor here.

Take the effort to solicit contractor recommendations from multiple people.

I’d love to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, and contractors in the Kansas City area.

I'm not sure if the contractors are trained to exacerbate every single problem or not.We recently discovered asbestos in the compound joint.

I do not make contractor recommendations.

We have helped a ton of clients with the process here in Chicago..just be sure to find a team (Agent, Lender, HUD Consultant, and General Contractor) that has done these renovation loans in the past!

Many claim they do not charge a markup, but then aren't transparent with invoices, etc. 1) If a PMC charges $x hourly, their markup is built into that hourly rate as they are NOT paying their workers that hourly rate.2) Many PMC's send you ONLY their invoice, or from their wholly owned maintenance company, not the underlying invoices from Home Depot and contractors.
