We help the foreigner (individual or company) to buy the property, then we renovate (I have two interior designers/project managers in house), then we rent to other foreigners fixed to hard currency (mostly USD but sometimes EUR), then we manage the property.

If you purchased / renovated/ expanded the properties you're speaking about in the last 10 years, you might want to consider a cost segregation project. 

I have a tri-plex rehab project I need to get done but I am having a heck of a time finding a professional, reliable contractor.

The reason most people shy away from it is that it takes a great deal of knowledge and expertise they lack to develop, not to mention access to a great deal of long-term capital.Unless you were doing the actual blue collar work, you could not make such a project work as it is too small to afford to hire such work done.

For the split just add up the total project cost, compensate for the labor and then take a 50/50 share. 

If you have plenty of time and energy you can save yourself a ton of money on this project, but you are going to work for it, make no mistake. 

besides the jobs and tax benefits I do not know that many people who want to live near a power plant Do you see any price changes since the project commenced?  

Typically they will sit down with you and do a tax projection as often as you need, monthly/quarterly annually, etc.

My wife has an old 401k rollover from a prior job that we're both interested in rolling into a self directed IRA and investing in RE projects.
