I get the following:* Contracting License (and I look it up in the online database)* EPA RRP credentials (for pre-1978 construction) - and verify with lookup online* W9 IRS form (so that they can get 1099 in January, and they are told that will happen)* Liability insurance proof - with me and my company named as certificate holders or additional insured* Workmen's compensation insurance proof - with me and my company named as certificate holders or additional insured* An actual street address for them (not just a P.O. box like some will only give out)* A list of customer references that can be contacted (not that I expect that anybody in this list will be saying bad things)* I go to visit actual job sites, preferably at least one in progress and at least one that is completed - to check for workmanship and tidiness of the job site.I also check the state website for criminal search, to see if they have a record.

i am surprised you even ask for their help. i like to talk to the master tradesman (the two stores i go to have "ex" master plumbers, electricians, etc), but i know who they are. the rest, i dont bother. they are clueless and ignorant. in their defense, HD is a terrible organization and threats the employees like dirt. i dont like lowes, their prices are higher. i know every square inch of my stores and i often times help customers that are standing next to me. too bad about the coupons though..

Any purchase agreement can be assigned, but it's a good idea to customize your purchase agreement.

She= The customer, who will remain anonymous for obvious reasons.I managed to negotiate a good price on a 3/2, 1300 sq, earlier today, on the NW side of Houston.

Thanks i should call them back today and find out.The customer service so far is very good with them.I was hoping for more raw data to look at it and didn't get it.It just mentioned the bankruptcy from 2003 which i think hurt the score. over all i will find out today.

Just trying to get some quick input on what color to paint front door...home is 4br, 3.5ba in semi-custom neighborhood, neutral (tan) siding with black shutters/roof, white exterior trim.I know some buiders/rehabbers go with a standout color, others choose standard white/black, etc.Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like this thread has petered out or else the posters have petered out so will post a few we have gathered over the years: Resident Retention or Customer Relationship Management (CRM): It costs 5X as much to re-rent a unit than it does to renew a resident.

They are not allowed to have a dog, nor is occupancy two people.Apparently, two tenants of UNIT 2 are customers of the tenant in UNIT 1 and there are drugs there all the time.
