I've never gone through the private lending process before and the contract feels very burdensome.Could I ask one of my fellow BP members to take a look at the agreement and let me know if there's anything weird or that you wouldn't be comfortable with signing? 

I'm new to to real estate investment industry, how do I get my first deal under contract ?

Look at the contractor's own contracts, if he or she does not have their own contracts then they are not truly serious about their business and is a red flag to me.If you do want to take the risk of using a cheap general contractor or using cheap subcontractors then I would develop your own master agreement for your contractors and have them sign it in order to let them know what the standard is.

This scope of work should act as your contract for your contractors to hold them accountable to their bid so there are no questions on what was or wasn't said during the walkthrough.After that, I recommend hiring a contractor that has their own contracts for you to sign.
