Move to the suburbs and you get lower taxes, lower crime, and higher quality of life.If population continues to decline we'll lose our tax base and the politicians will need to raise taxes even more.

Trustworthy, experienced, and like-minded are all qualities I like to look for.Start by quantifying your goals and assets: What do you want your investments to produce, and by when?

IMO Floor and decor while having beautiful displays, has crap for quality. 

In the next few years, we'll 1031 exchange that house into an apartment building or a beach house.Nothing fancy, just owning quality property over time, and having tenants pay for it.

Research the benefits of the home warranty and visually inspect your units if you’re concerned.

Can’t avoid them all, but you can avoid most if you’ve got a decent quality product priced in a way that you can be selective. 

Game changer for me.If the quality ever suffers, I'll check out simplifile.

I think I was being a little too ambitious just such a waste to toss pretty good quality products.

Normally I would think bring in a 3rd party such as another contractor or an inspector but in the case of a contractor I feel like a lot of contractors trash other contractors work, so this may not be helpful and an inspector may not know enough about foundation work for example to know between good and bad quality work.

I can take renovating photos/videos, general quality inspections, walk the layout, etc.
