Hi Jose,I work directly with a well known local contractor, with a long established list of ties from everything from subs, material suppliers, mortgage and title companies etc...

New Jersey is a tough market, so I use a realtor who happens to know a lot of people.

They run specials for $199 for the class and materials on the coupon sites like Amazon deals and Living Social. 

As an experience importer I am also beginning to look at importing raw materials such as finishing fixtures, cabinets, tile, etc.

get references from the builder, ask for his last five jobs, talk to those people.Builders can be great sometimes, and bad at other times, it is almost what they can get away with.Don't pay until job is completed, do not pay up front, if the builder can't afford to buy material to start the job, you need to find a more secure builder.

Avoid paying them in advance until the job is done or until the end of the day and you will probably want to furnish the materials.

so when I find that first deal I can pull the trigger properly.Getting started is tough since the barrier to entry is high, and the level of the market.Ideally I'll let to partner, JV on multi-family (duplex or triplex, commercial units.

I am looking for a tough property management in Fulton County, Atlanta.

It may be a little tough to see the chimney because of the sun.

I have forgotten all my material on market segmentation :(@Nathan E., i guess that is part of my issue at the time.
