Overall, RTR has a tremendous reputation in the industry and certainly among the BP community. 

Currently about to remodel one side of our duplex from a 2 bed/2 bath to a 3 bed/2 bath with upgraded mini split ductless HVAC system.We've been doing real estate investing for over 10 years and I'm close to finishing developing a land lording class for local landlords to learn from my mistakes of 10 years and similar to the BP mentality ensure landlords are raising the bar to push the less than reputable landlords out as we feel our tenants deserve better! 

Knowing what I don't know I hired a reputable civil engineering firm to handle my site plan.

Your best bet is if you continue with the new build partner up with a reputable builder and learn.

@Austin Bright Goosehead has a reputation.

Poor work and poor service get called out publicly, for example right here on Bigger Pockets, and reputation drives business.So, contrary to your statement, myself and my colleagues have tremendous incentives to provide excellent service and protect our reputation.

The most frustrating thing is cleaners not realizing if done at every checkout most grill cleaning would only take 3 to 5 minutes with the right equipment and 7 step process.Equipment: gloves, aluminum foil, metal spatula, plastic grocery bag1.

The trick is to spade out the flower bed, throw in some black Mulch, buy some flowers I'd leave them in the plastic pots, because they're going to die anyway.When they start to droop, pull the plastic pots out and put new ones in- still of the Plastic pots.

Then you've opened Pandoras Box and you instantly have the guys in the HazMat suits with fans and plastic sheets all over.....and a bill for $5000 for something you could have done for $50.I used to do this kind of work on the weekends when the city inspectors weren't driving around :-) 

Look for lenders with competitive interest rates, favorable terms, and a good reputation for customer service.
