Here is their website:  http://www.marei.org/We were invited by someone.  

If it weren't for us connecting with @William Allen here on BP, and him inviting us to Flip Hacking Live 3 years ago, we wouldn't be doing this now. 

Ask a local contractor for pricing of work. call some up and explain what you are doing, invite them out to lunch in exchange for some information and come prepared with questions.

Being invited to be a moderator by @Mindy Jensen was one of the biggest compliments I have ever received.

And doing otherwise often invites unwelcome reciprocity.  

Disregarding the obvious signs (the way they dress; inappropriate tattoos; inappropriate piercings; oversize pants; etc) is just an invitation to trouble.

Thanks again for the invite let me know when the next one is so I can put it on my schedule.Steve

I look to invite sellers and buyers and provide multiple links to answer their questions and support them.

Besides, the last thing you want to do is invite your vacationing renters into an environment  that makes them sick.

i regret giving home advisor my phone# cuz they have contractors on service requests YEARS after the fact, ie a remodel in nyc i submitted 2 years ago, they have contractors still calling me on that request, here in la county.what i gather is important is once decided on a contractor after inspecting work, etc is get their insurance certificate and call insurance to verify it is current and have the company assure me they are liable for anything that goes wrong while contractor is working on my property, etc also make sure they are using legal employees, ie what if they bring a helper that is not their employee but falls and get hurt, ditto what if they bring a next prospective client to show their work and they get hurt..so many bases to cover in today's litigious atmosphere!
