I have construction work history and I currently work for a property management company.

I spent 5 years in construction management as a project engineer until I received my BS in Finance at which point I began working in commercial lending for US Bank and did that for nearly 4 years.

An easier, more direct way is to go to every house you see being rehabbed and talk to the construction guys.

I have been involved in construction management and real estate for over 18 years and after awhile of sitting and watching the market I am getting back into actively looking for real estate projects to rehab and sell.

I work in commercial construction and am familiar with the construction process.

We keep freaking out that it'll ruin our chances of qualifying for land/construction loan.

Some examples:--Contact township regarding permitting process--Meeting with attorney to draft rental agreement--Contract with construction company that covers scope of work and timelines--Turning on utilities!

I have knocked on doors(a summer gig), sold cars(successfully |salesman of the month out of 40 twice in 12months| & consistently just wasn't around enough winners to want to keep at it), worked in construction (I am currently helping renovate a home in Yakima, Washington), coached high school football, cleaned carpets (straight commission) and recently started a business online and learned several programming languages (HTML - CSS - JavaScript - Ruby - and bit of Python and backend database SQL stuff) and can design a fully responsive website from scratch.

Just a shout out to everyone from a new BP Member / architect and construction manager in Cali and Hawaii!
