Lets see seasoned investors you take on this.I'm helping a friend with a house hack in New Jersey, in my many years of design and construction never had a half *** as the GC doing this job; completely mediocre expensive and awful to work with.we still have the outdoor to do that came with a different permit.The GC, keeps telling he will charge for what he does, but I know he is waiting to do the outdoor because is a big number, and the last thing in this remodel.I could do it for half the cost, and double the quality.My questions are; does the person certifying the job for the bank care if the GC in the papers was the one doing the job?

Even though I was voted Class Clown in high school, both my husband and I are naturally a bit introverted, so the networking part of this biz will be a challenge I’m sure---I'm not so funny when you first meet me.

This means that you will need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property.Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.

Make sure you hire an IICRC certified firm.
