I am a graphic designer by trade and work from home with my wife who has had amazing success selling designs online.

I have a lot of experience trading stocks and financial products but limited experience in real estate other than the home my wife and I own.

I know and have a lot of trades people, but would be nice to be more hands off and not have to run the jobs so intensely.

It will be done faster and will look better I should focus on the process, optimization of the business, potential savings areas and building good working relationships with the right ….well here it is…Here is my dilemma : I need to decide if I want to work with GCs or maybe try to call around and have multiple trades quote me the prices?

Let me know what trades you're looking for and I'd be happy to refer folks that have done good work for me.

Even with a license you still need licensed subs for some trades - mechanical, electrical and plumbing, commonly.Getting a GC license is typically just a matter of taking a test and paying the fees.

I have a few dozen properties and am constantly horse trading.

State specific question IL :Part of the rehab will be dealing with many trades.

To invest out of the area requires some time to build a team you can trust.So it's a question of comfort with the trade-off.

I'm trading off the high CCR by buying a lower risk, higher cost property.
