I don’t know of any off the top of my head, but there’s an article at another REI website that gives a good intro to start you off. Posting links to that site is banned for some reason. Seems like we’re all here to share information freely, so I don’t know what that’s all about. But if you want to find it put these search terms into Google and it should be the first link that pops up.

flipping homes handling contractors

The URL should end with articles/article_handle_contractors.php

Hopefully this post doesn’t get deleted, because the article really is a good read.

Pete Youngs right here on this site also Robyn Thompson has a good rehab course.

Craftsman National Estimator is a good source of costs for labor and material for estimating costs.

For ‘hands on’ follow your contractor around and ask ‘inteligant’ ?'s

Try hiring a good contractor and watch, listen, learn to ask the pertenant questions.

I think he might have been asking about good books for dealing with contractors, not actually for the contracting work itself?

Hi Joe,

Do you know of any good books to get started? I am currently getting ready to do my first new construction project and have hired a contractor, but I would like to learn as much as I can.

Thanks…Robert
