Contractors who understand investor needs—like timelines, budgets, and resale value—become go-to partners for future deals. Good relationships can lead to a steady stream of projects. Have you ever built a long-term partnership with an investor or developer?

Growing your business shouldn’t mean cutting corners. The best contractors scale by creating repeatable systems for bidding, quality checks, and customer service. What’s the hardest part about maintaining quality as your business grows?

Most profit is won or lost before the job begins—at the estimating stage. Good estimates include accurate material counts, labor hours, and a buffer for surprises. Using estimating software or standardized templates reduces errors. What’s one mistake you made in estimating that taught you a big lesson?

Profitable contractors know their labor costs, material margins, and overhead. Guessing or underbidding just to win jobs often leads to hidden losses. Tracking costs per project helps you price smarter and grow sustainably. Do you track your project profits in real time or only after the job is done?

Relying on one strategy can expose you to market shifts. Many experienced investors mix rentals, flips, and passive syndications to balance risk and returns. Pros: Smoother cash flow, more resilient to economic cycles. Cons: Requires more knowledge and management effort. Do you prefer focusing on one strategy or diversifying across multiple property types?
