I want to get some advice regarding hiring of contractors/handyman(woman), I have been looking for a few weeks and haven't been able to find anyone willing to take on a job. 

Lots of growth in Collin County and companies like Toyota and Liberty Mutal have brought in thousands of jobs and decrease home supply and driven prices up. 

I'm handy by trade, have worked for and been a general contractor and have all the tools for the job, whether it's my actual tools or connections for bigger projects or repairs.

If you are in a low paying job concentrate on increasing your income.

Great job;  in and out, no concerns.

I will be quitting my job in California as a Police Officer and moving to Las Vegas! 

Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures.

I am hoping to bring in enough cash flow so I don't need to have a 9 to 5 job. 

Full disclosure, I sell solar as well for a day job. 

My husband is a general contractor and has quit his other job to free up time and speed up the turnaround time on the properties.
