To fill the gaps between new builds for our own account we are looking to do work for others.We are not well suited to the large volume / low return type of work (flip contractor, small remodels, etc.) but have the ideal setup and experience for new home construction, custom homes, small commercial and multi-family, and major remodels. 

I do have two quick questions:1) I have just finished reading the ABCs of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroy.

Quick background check...

Out of 3 turnkey providers in FL an TX, JWB ranks #1 when it comes to customer service.

There’s a lot of competition in Portland so it was hard at first and we did not get properties as quickly as we projected to but once we got going, referrals and word of mouth helped us a lot.

Doing a full-blown rehab is one thing, doing a quick cosmetic turnover (replace carpet and paint) is another.   

You might be surprised how quickly a rental can chafe due to a rough patch + distance. 

They buy quickly and as-is.Retail (using agents) and investing are 2 very different business so you must hook up with investor groups if you're going to be investing.Good luck!

I have not had any experience but have heard of people having issues with violations and have let me know that the process was relatively simple, and could be done quickly. 

In general, the larger the project, the more you'll realize the benefits of modular, especially with custom.
