One of those fiduciary duties is confidentiality, so YOUR agent knowing your financial position should not ever be a problem.

Turned out that a few joists had some pretty major scarring, I had to "sister" onto them, everything else was "cosmetic" although the smoke penetration into the sheetrock and slab needed some heavy duty sealing to eliminate all the odor.The second one was a fire that the seller wanted about the price of the land it was sitting on.

Once you have agency, your fiduciary duty is clear.

Otherwise the landlord has the duty to write the accounting of the security deposit and send it to the last known address which would be your apartment.

Our rules do allow, however, for us to hire unlicensed employees that can perform a variety of management-related duties, such as showing properties, lease signings, etc.  

During the work, i was lied to about what the joists looked like, which I later found out and had repaired afterwards from the inside.With that said, I have not paid the bill in full yet and want to re-negotiate the contract based on the outcome.To have some leverage on negotiation, I want to know whether it is a Licensed Contractor's civil duty to point out things that not to code and not continuing with the work until that is fixed.  

Sounds like you have a solid grasp on your legal duties. 

From what I see, the ones who scale up will add project managers to their team to take over more of the duties of the investor than the GC.

@Richard Cook, from one Active Duty USAF to another ...it can be done!  

I understand there may be some more management intervention and some extra administrative duties, but the cash flow seems great.
