Why not have the contractor start at the back of the home and work forward, moving the debris to the front as they go? 

Especially for the Atlanta area.Also, we have contacted a number of local general contractors and they all have passed on working with us because most do not do one flip jobs.

I guess it is worth the few hundred dollars to close up the window that leads into the kitchen.One contractor suggested that we could spray a coating to frost the glass on the doors.

Looking for a reliable, ethical, honest flooring contractor to do the install.  

You can find him at thehulsergroup.com, or you can PM me for his contact info.He also has a pretty deep contractor base.Tell him I referred you please!

You don't choose when and how repairs are done, you can't choose the contractor and you certainly can't negotiate price.

I've got contractors who would do work for free for me (connections, eh), so I am open to doing some dirty work (not necessarily flipping).

Something I’ve thought about for some time, but without action...you know....I’ve been studying and researching for a little over a year now, but making connections is my growth area so that I can form a good community to learn and work with.Whats the best thread/article you’ve come across on:- finding the first deal/learning with others executing a deal- creating a successful team (contractors, inspectors, real estate lawyers, etc.)- analyzing deals (preferably comparing 2 or more deals)There are so many threads here, so maybe this can help me get to some specific links or info a bit faster.

Finding a good contractor is a process--however, you may be able to pull leads by calling PM companies and getting their handyman/plumber/electrician contact info. 

For large expenses to contractors I scan and save those invoices digitally.
