Start talking to local owners in your area, especially the smaller mom/pop places.

In my local market too many Mom and Pops are gonna go under.

Popping the top of a 1 1/2 story building to add a 2nd story including full home mechanical upgrade, add passive gravity feed water mitigation system, I'm your "jelly-bean". 

The extra weight of the trees just pops the stump and roots out when the fall. 

Zillow gives me alerts when new properties come up in my search area and this one popped up.

It sounds like things are popping there! 

Assumptions: 50/50 partner who gets half of everything; 75% leveraged; 25% equity; 20-unit mom and pops.

Show the contractor that you are hands on, that you will be there when you say you will and pop in unannounced to keep them on the job.3) Regardless of the outcome, don't tell them their jobIf you don’t want to get bulldozed by a contractor, return the favor and maintain a professional relationship.

Run away from these scam artist. 

We will definitely run this by an accountant, but just wanted to float the idea by BP as it just popped into my head yesterday as a way to maximize return without getting creamed by capital gains.
