Quote from @Chris Wang: Track Brandon down and ask him what he means by "sued" because there's a lot of variation.

All homes are built with the same grade lots with variations in size, and all homes are made with the same or comparable materials by the same builder.

Another variation that could be an opportunity to increase your rent would be to lease your townhome to someone like him to do AirBnB arbitrage - basically, he leases it from you and you let him sublet the unit for STR stays.

Unfortunately, good contractors are often found by trial and error and luck.
