I'm interested in the idea of working in a real-estate related job while saving toward buying more investment properties.

However he is there wrapping up his jobs & my jobs so we won't be ready to start flipping for about 60-75 days.These are my goals / long term / short term situation.  

They probably choose to do these jobs because they know they can charge a bit more.  

. $1200 for 3 month term                $160K Property Value (incl. improvements), $300K LimitQuote 2 - Builders Renovation Policy from Lloyd's of London. $917 for 3 month term                $80K - Property, $300K Liability, $1K deductibleBoth seem very high and I can't even use quote 2 because I am not using a licensed GC.

will let you know if I find something or if propertyware does the job. 

The person managing for them (not always a good, licensed property manager, but one that will do what the owner says) gets a new tenant in quickly that has first months rent and security deposit and some form of job.  

Any as luck would have it, I now find myself between jobs (between careers really) and I can't qualify for a personal residence until I'm employed again.  

I truly envy your skills in construction - they will be invaluable in REI.Do you have any tips on learning basic home improvement / handy-person skills? 

I was once taught, spend your time on the $100 and $1000 jobs.

As far as your evaluation of the property, the numbers look great and your doing a good job looking at it from that angle.
