In the past I had acted as GC and hired all the subs.  

Remember, the only reason you buy this class of house is to generate monthly cash flow and provide lower income families a decent to live.Rule #6:  Hire a Seasoned Property ManagerI think this one speaks for itself.  

When I do not have work for my employees, they go freelance, after I call them back for a couple of week jobs, they immediately jump in, and on the first few days on the job, they are on the phone at least every 2 hours cancelling everything that they scheduled for, so yeah, I understand your point. 

I assume you are managing yourself and just hiring out some of the things you and/or a manager would do? 

I want to know do I hire a mold inspector to come out or is this a deal breaker?

However, they're sometimes weary of an investor just looking to hang their license for the discount and will ask upfront that you commit a certain amount of hours a week (that's up to your local hiring team).As an associate agent you wouldn't be taking the transactions across the finish line yourself, including your own, but you WOULD save more money as Redfin gives a big discount to their associate agents for their personal transactions above and beyond normal customers get, but there is a limit (~2 a year I believe).I LOVE LOVE LOVE Redfin, but from my experience it's not a place to just hang a license - they'll be wanting to hire and train someone who be at least part-time. 

And/or hire local mentors when you are ready... but read everything you can get your hands on first so you aren't wasting your $$ on introductory stuff that's in every Real Estate Investing Book 101. 

Then you have to hire a lawyer and show your proof that you had an agreement and proof of payment.No owner is going to add you to the deed unless you have satisfied an agreeable amount of funds to transfer or add ownership.

You could hire a good property manager :)Seriously... connect with Mike Jacka at MNREIA and ask for referrals.
