Forget it, we'll be booked out 12 months.In the situation when we bid a blue print job on a cost plus basis we are still requiring a deposit up front because we have to pay our subs so they can buy their materials and hold our spots in line to make sure the job is timely.If you guys are hiring some clowns then that is the problem, not because they're asking for a percentage to start the work.I really wish people would treat people in the trades better, your portfolio's are nothing without skilled labor.

Some hospitals keep a list on hand for workers coming in for extended stays of less than a year.When I lived in Seattle in the 1980s I rented a four bedroom house and sublet one of the rooms to medical school students who came from other states to do 3-month externship/internships.

However, my full-time job in corporate strategy provides me three fundamental skills I believe will translate incredibly well to real estate:Quantitative analysis and model-building are core skills to being able to judge the value of a potential market / acquisition in my daily workMy daily success hinges on instilling efficient, scalable business processes and getting creative with incentive alignment to ensure everyone is working toward the same goalAs a strategist, my work on the above has zero bearing if I haven't earned the trust of those who must execute against them.

Likewise, by putting so much content and sometimes contradicting what others write, I'm exposing myself to personal attacks and I have to accept it even if they shouldn't happen.Maybe your reaction was a gift to me because maybe other readers thought I wasn't diplomatic enough so this might have been a good opportunity to clarify my thinking for everyone's benefit and to improve my writing/diplomacy skills.

Have you got the skills to do all/most of the labor yourself?

I love the idea that you're targeting these institutions as I truly believe these places (Hopkins Medical Facility, Universities, etc) will be the difference in long term growth here in Baltimore.

Someone with very few skills would gladly do the job for less than WeGoLook's rates.

From a landlord perspective, is it appropriate to address a medical issue with a tenant though?
