Going forward, I would like to create different LLCs for my properties to help mitigate the risk but don't know if this is an industry norm in the residential world. 

Sorry to hear about your contractor difficulties, it seems that far too often folks in my industry struggle to perform, especially in the residential arena.I do have experience with new residential construction but very little in the world of rehabs.

Its amazing the complications I come across on how the industry is handled. 

The "HGTV Effect" where everyone with zero relevant experience wants to be a flipper "as seen on tv" can cause a lot of industry insider eyes to glaze over, myself included from time to time, granted. 

I use a software called Xactimate which is the industry standard when an insurance company determines how much something is supposed to cost.

Hello, my name is Ernest Allen I am in Florida and I am new to this industry.

I am really hoping to network with like minded people in the industry.  

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance.

You would be surprised what is happening in the Real Estate Industry nowadays.
