I'm working on becoming a realtor but I'm not licensed yet so that increases my cost quite a bit.I have done a flip before but that was a sure money maker where I think this one isn't such a sure bet.

The costs of concrete, site work, utilities, permits, licensed tradespeople, heating systems, button-up, garages/decks, etc will blow you away.

My Dad  at 18 he said get your real estate license if you want to make big money you have to make commissions.and he was right !!

A little about me, I'm a full-time woodworker looking to add some value and benefit from a relationship with either a new investor or someone more seasoned that needs help rehabbing properties themselves without using a general contractor.

Everything the contractors get in order to give a bid, we would need to see.

Wife is frightful about getting burned by contractors, agents and just not knowing what all is involved. 

I am currently looking for a contractor for a flip that I am working on for the interior of a townhouse.

Is it an attractive arrangement when a contractor would pay for all rehab costs (per investors plan) on a property an investor buys, to give first refusal option to contractor to buy the house at ARV minus the rehab costs?

I have grown up working in a national contracting business, and am therefore familiar with how contractors work and communicate (I really enjoy this aspect of RE).
