Let's share our experiences and insights on this topic!

I always knew this was a common problem in the real estate space and I was always curious as to what was the underlying issue.

I would like to be a licensed broker in multiple states around the U.S.

This helps set the right expectations as we are not in an easy cash flow market.

As a reminder, the San Antonio City Council approved new STR rules (you can see my post regarding this here!). 

This should hopefully motivate you to get you off your seat and buy that property that you have coveted. 

Hello, if any experienced wholesaler sees this and wants to help out I have a quick question. 5 minutes of your time.

This isn't STR, this is any form of investing or daily work(non REI related).

The best thing to do would be to consult an attorney, but likely, that is not an option for everyone starting out.I'm not an attorney, and this is not legal advice, but some of the information that we include in our contracts is:- A clear scope of work - Payment schedule / Milestones- Change order approval process- Allowances for finished materials- Reasons to terminate the contract- Expectations for start date (X amount of time after final plans /permits are received or X amount of time after the contract is executed)- General schedule and timeline (This is where you could specify an end date - however it may be better use incentives rather than liquidated damage if your general contractor is late - we've done both, but found General Contractors respond better to getting something if they get done early instead of being punished for being late.
