I agree with others, turning your back on a winning formula out of boredom is stupid.

It's funny that you mention the "play doctor" thing because that is what I really want to do (find solutions for people and create win-wins).

Donte the bids I win are houses that have been on the market for 80 days.

Which I personlly think will be a win-win situation for both the community and myself.

 you are right I think - so the object is to align those interests. the best way, it appears is to me, is to have a partnership on the project with one person the GC and the other the money/admin/finder of deals - that seems to work well, and that is something I am looking for myself - it makes it a win-win, and if everyone has skin in the game, everyone will be doing their best. but there is the finding and proving of trust period that has to come first and that is tricky?

WIN PC's are a PITA in so many ways.

You can sue the contractor in small claims ("justice") court if the total dispute is $10,000 or less.You don't necessarily have to have an attorney... but in a typical breach of contract case in Texas, the plaintiff can recover his attorney's fees if he wins the case. 

Win-win!

Prized in demand locations for sure nearest the tops though.

I'm at the front-end of my real estate investing journey, and I don't have any huge wins, but I do have some small wins that have been encouraging, and I wanted to share.I spent about a year getting educated--attending REIA meetings, reading and listening to BP and other real estate sites/podcasts, and researching my local area.
