Wc insurance is required by all people that work in construction .. even sole proprietors .. this is of course if your intending on keeping things legal and not wanting to risk getting sued by a injured worker .. a officer of a LLC or a corperation can get exempt  from   Workers Comp but they have to file for it .. so if you have anyone who you hire that tells you they are excempt .. ask to see their certificate .. then check online to see if it is valid .. unfortunately  .. if you dont check and they get injured , you can still be held liable .. good luck and ..God Speed , Michael Short 

Also, working with more experienced partners/mentor can help speed up your learning curve.Good Luck !!

What is your trick, tactic or method to get them to speed things up and get done?

I've been bringing myself up to speed on real estate investing over the past couple of months and i'm excited to get my feet wet while continuing to work my full-time job for the time being. 

It was just speeding etc..  

Yes, we all wish lenders moved at a quicker speed as they are the bottleneck in the process, and hold us up as well. 

Pre-approved designs haven't come through yet, but some builders like MyKabin have a set book of designs that have already gone through engineering with the city to speed up the process and lower your cost vs. a custom build. 

You'll have to build a network of cash investors who can front you the cash for these deals so that you can act with speed and efficiency.

@Josh KundratAs a developer in training, you want a job that exposes you to the maximum amount of the development cycle with the maximum possible learning velocity (time and speed).
