But there are still some big companies here, so we decided to move and remodel our house, and fix it to rent out to oil field workers.

Secondly, if you had a contract with him and he has breached it, consider talking with an attorney, be make sure not to breach the contract yourself.Third, structure contracts with contractors that favor you regarding when payment is made.On my last rehab I had an executed rehab contract where I paid 1/3 after paint was complete 1/3 after flooring was complete and 1/3 after the kitchen was remodeled.

I spent an August day touring properties he either managed, owned, or was remodeling, and after some more careful analysis, I decided to pull the trigger.

They need to sign something that says they understand that the products they flush down the drains and toilets will be septic friendly.  

I am not planning on doing any of the actual work on the rehab (labor), which is hard because I do have construction and remodeling experience 1.

One duplex I have will need to gut remodel.

There are differences, however; a contractor working with a PM is likely only going to see a few, full blown remodels a year, whereas a flipper is going to live and breath that kind of work.  

One issue for older houses that have had some remodels - I'm talking 1910's, 1920's houses with some remodels - is the presence of asbestos, especially in flooring and siding.

I am a licensed AZ GC and have extensive experience in re-models and housing re-habs - if you are still in need of a GC, I would love to speak with you.
