I agree with this but not all localities allow you to force the tenant to use your repair services, i.e. you have to allow them the ability to make you whole using their own contract labor.

As developments are continuing to grow in number and the industry is picking back up, work is available again, but we are seeing a trend of construction laborers being in high demand.

Tile is a good option, but when you factor in labor and material, its generally not very cheap.

Sometimes these shows are getting heavily discounted materials and labor because companies or contractors want exposure from the show.

Thanks, Joe

Joe,So you are saying I can't do owner financing with a home owner who has their house for collateral.

I repeated the process for all remodel items and left items for labor.

From being a GC, I now know that the risk part of a project (LNI, aesbestos, lead-based paint, injuries, employee complaints, milking the clock, OSHA safety compliance, safety training and meetings, litigation, construction defect warranties, etc) equals the cost of direct labor and materials.
