They may be a contractor or landscaper or fireman or a little old lady who is just killing them in the investing world!

Although non-compete clauses are usually found in employment agreements, it can also involve independent contractors.

My tenents are required by contract to also keep the yard neat and weed free, trees trimmed to 8' above sidewalk, etc, (that's in the contract) or they can be evicted.

Luckily my husband is a contractor and is going to help but can only do it on weekends.

Today, while I was still sleeping (today's my day off), by 9 AM, he had already checked rates for plastering and talked to several contractors.

Are you finding yourself having to be onsite at the house with the contractors on a daily basis??

I had to submit estimates from licensed and bonded contractors, and I could not dwell in the property.

Or, if there is a lack of data to base additional services on, charge a fee and an hourly rate for unforeseen duties.And, you might double check on up-charging on services that require a license, like a plumber or electrician if you aren't one, that's what general contractors do, I can tell you I've dealt with PMs and they lost, PM activities is not a general contractor relationship, especially when your area may require a license to conduct sub-contracting work

I would make sure you find a good contractor that you can trust to oversee the project as with flips, not everything always goes as planned.

Contractors, sellers, buyers, tenants; they'll all lie/hide/fudge the truth.
