If he is hiring you to find him jobs, you would essentially be marketing for him and getting paid based on what deal structure you work out. e.g. percentage of the job amount, fixed finders fee, etc.If you are starting your own contracting business, you would need to defer to TX small business laws.

Also, before purchasing should/could we hire someone to inspect the home to really let us know what needs to be fixed and if the purchase is worth it?
