What's the Draw? See you tonight Tonight, Tuesday 12/27, 6:30pm
Good morning, (this is a 2 minute 18 second read)
Mainly Home Depot!
When we began, around 1985 it was Tenant/Landlord issues that were the big attraction. How Mass was such a Tenant Loving state that no one in their right mind, would become a Landlord unless they wanted freeloaders and have to give houses away. Our Association was made up of about 65% Landlords and the rest, Investors and Contractors. We've pretty much solved most of our Landlording issues by having an annual visit from the Head of the Mass Housing Court, various attorneys, a better understanding of the laws and access to more accurate screening.
Enter Home Depot, the "500# gorilla in the room" which has dominated the Building Materials Industry. Not only do they seem to have everything (Over 1 million individual price codes in every store) but it's quality material, updated design & function. And the tools to accomplish installations.
Don't get me wrong, it does Pay to shop and Home Depot WILL beat written competitors prices.
However, like anything, what do you do with it? (Lucky Pierre story tonight)
Lately at our meetings we've been sharing our GOOD subcontractors. Don't forget, like gravity, the golden Rule of subs is that you can only pick two (Quality, Price or Time).
But the Burden for getting the RIGHT SubContractor is on you! Case in point, we recently went through 8 Blue-board & plaster guys, but only needed 1 Flooring supplier and 1 Installer to come as close as possible to get all Q,P&T!
Finally my point, we've got good Subs and excellent Material Suppliers to share and so don't you! We'll see you this evening for that and more.
at our next meeting 12/27 I'll finish the Flipping vs Wholesaling vs Retail vs Rental guide. Also Tax tips with Andrey & Robbie, Market Guide with Lincoln and Steve on his Hidden Market of Opportunity!
