Depends on the type of GC you're looking for.The guys picking up material early in the morning at HD/Lowes/Menards are unlikely to run a very tight ship or handle large scale jobs.

I then use websites like Build.com or Wayfair to source the majority of the materials and have them shipped directly to the project site.

When I walk through a place, I don't see how it looks but what it could look like based on the type of work I am capable of.I personally like homes from the 50s (good thick hardwood often hidden under a bad carpet) but avoid late 60s and 70s (popcorn ceiling = asbestos) and often cheaper construction grade.Overall, I found that flipping is a good way to turn your free time into equity/money and a great learning experience but it is hard work and definitely not for everyone.

Just to complicate things, I'm trying to convince him to sell me an option to buy Bravo, Charlie, and Delta all at once in the next few months while I get together more cash, but I'm afraid that ship may have sailed, along with the prices I haven't already nailed down.Please, HELP ME WITH THIS!

We are capable of bringing in 20%, but we'd rather keep our capital on the sideline until the refi, if possible.

He's very skilled and capable of everything from roofing to finish carpentry.  

If you don't know the market very well, then you/syndicator had better identify an emerging market since "a rising tide raises all ships".

We've had solo-401k's in place for many years and are well-informed on its capabilities and rules, but need to move from brokerage to fully self-directed.

The business is a shipping, fax, copy, notary, mailboxes, shredder, center.

I am referring to tools to keep track of tasks, expenses, etc. with reporting capabilities.
