Your reputation in this business makes all the difference.You would include the improvements in the equity raise.Offers always carry more weight than LOI on small deals like this.

Hi, Everyone: I am considering a new construction apartment building of 8-10 units in Richmond area and I am looking for a reputable general contractor with experience of developing small apartment buildings to work with.

The mechanics behind the install are not a problem, I can perform the install or if I do not have the time I can hire a plumber.

There are several developments that I know of but please always look into the builders ratings and local reputation.

They were ripped off by the inspector because a bunch of those tests samples were unnecessary. 1966 home with popcorn ceiling, almost guaranteed to have asbestos.However, good thing the inspector was reputable and didn't damage anything.Yes, I got the report, and the roof was not sampled.I have offered to eat the cost of a month's rent and have them find another place immediately.

I also have very reputable, highly-experienced property management companies managing the properties which I feel also further reduces my risk.  

It screws with their life and gives you a bad reputation. 

Heck one of my screened, great reputation, agents let the in escrow buyer host her kid's birthday party at my house. 

For my all houses, I go with good reputable brands like Trane, Carrier or Bryant.
