You've got a plan now put it into action.My first deal was working as extra labor on a big flip.

But its much cheaper to replace countertops (600 if you use stock laminate and then pay for labor) then the 4,500 they are setting cap ex for.Come on.

I did the labor myself. 

It can definitely be done, ask @Joe Fairless .  

That said, I did advertise on CL for laborers.

It's just a sad case of the greedy house flipper getting the cheapest labor possible, slapping a house together trying to make a quick buck without thinking about what they are truly doing.Just as you said a good GC can save you thousands, and I believe you are correct that a house with good craftsmanship will sell much faster.

I see it as a labor of love most of the time.

Is this a common sales practice or usually inside deals where the builder cut it with their buddies and generally not accessible to joe public?
