Hello I'm Steve plumbing and heating contractor by trade 17 years exp , I do project management , contracting , for flips and rentals .

These projects will not be flips.  

Ultimately I'd like to find a G.C that can handle my projects, from demo to final finish.I'm looking to build a long term relationship with a company that possesses the following: Fair pricing, timely & efficient, communicative, can get the job done on time & on budget.

I have been primarily focusing on the scottsdale area over the last year, and I am starting a new fix and flip project in a few weeks.  

My next project is to use regressions to quantify the value of DFW schools in the price of 3/2 SFHs.

Add that to your projected holding costs and rehab numbers to make an offer based on all of those details.  

First off, you're basically asking if you can take the hard-work the Realtor did to find and cultivate the lead so they could list this person's home, and then cut them out of the deal.
