I have joined certain real estate groups and gardening groups in my area where I get a discount at certain stores and cheap labor.

@Joe Guz I know I am 11 years late lol but quicken loans actually moves pretty quick. 

Many of these types of laborers make minimum wage to about $12 or $15 an hour… If I were billing them out at $35 an hour I could make money, pay taxes, workers comp etc.

Hey all,My name's Joe, I've been interested in real estate for several years.

For labor and materials.

It give me a better idea of labor cost.

Yes it might cost a tad more to pay contractors, but I think, as with RE Prices, the cost of labor will come back down as more LEGALS get into the arena.I also think you will save the money.

Yes, perfectionist, but my rule is, if I can save a buck, and have the same exact end result, and the only risk is fines, and I can validate as such from my past experience, I will risk it. 20 homes later, 1 ground up, 5 jobs since I was 16 in labor, Im confident enough to go with what I have gone with the past 17 years.
