Contractors Are The Bomb

Let me tell you, Contractors are the BOMB! This statement can go either way. I love contractors because they make me lots of money. They also provide me with my free entertainment. However, you have to know how to control them. Not like their are a bunch of screaming kids or anything. You just need to let them know who is running the show. Who is the Chief in Command? You are and don't forget it!

You also want to be sure you do your homework on the front end before signing on the dotted line with them to be sure you have made the right choice. Trust me there are lots to choose from and you should always check references and go inspect at least 3 jobs they have completed in the past 120 days. If they don't have jobs for you to inspect pick up the shattered pieces in your life and move on to the next contractor. Don't even entertain the idea of hiring a contractor that just started in the business. Make sure they have at least 3-5 years experience in their trade. Hiring an electrician right out of school is bad news bears. Trust me I know you'll be tempted. I was and have paid dearly for it.

Learn from my mistakes. I usually call my Renovate Your Success (TM) educational training system a collection of my mistakes. Only because I will show you everything I did wrong when I first started in the rehabbing business and everything you need to try to avoid them. These types of mistakes cost me thousands and thousands of dollars. Rehabbing is so simple and very very rewarding. I have dedicated my Renovate Your Success system to those of you out there ready to begin your journey toward financial freedom. It's not just education on rehabbing - I will teach you and give you the tools on how to take the education and turn it into Your Success!
