The Inside Secrets to Finding and Keeping Good Contractors in a Tight Market with Derek Christian
One of the biggest challenges in today’s market is finding skilled contractors who can do repairs and rehabs right, on time, and affordably. Derek Christian knows better than most; he screened 1,400 applicants for contracting work last year alone. In his years of completing rehabs for himself and others, he’s learned a lot about finding and keeping the right people. He’ll share those with you on May 3rd, where you’ll find out:
- Why the clean, well-spoken, experienced craftsman who can start tomorrow is probably a scam artist
- How to decide which faults you can overlook to get work done at an affordable price
- Life from the contractors’ point of view: the real reason the job never gets done on time, and why so many contractors disappear at the last minute
- Why timing your hires right can save you a bunch of money
Whether you’re a full-on retailer, or a landlord who needs turnovers done fast, or a wholesaler who needs help understanding the real costs your buyers face, you should be at this meeting.
6:00-7:00
