It is not just that company. They do the same in Central Florida. Buyers need to be careful and do their own homework. Always run your numbers.

Thanks @Hattie Dizmond for this post. New investors need to hear that. 

$500 for painting a house on the outside is not that expensive, even here if Florida.

I believe he can charge whatever he wants and you can pay whatever you want.

He is not your employee as you described. If the prices he quoted you and your budget don't match, it may be time for him to find another GC and you another handyman to work.

Contractor will cover his tools if he left any at the jobsite. Also may cover material if any of his staff left the doors unlocked.

You can bring a blank copy with you when driving and fill out the address and price on the spot in front of the owner if you know how much you want to offer.

First 50 Units are free.

Great work and great education for you and all of us still learning. Keep ups posted on your next project.

As @David Krulac said, you need to check with the local Building Department and check the local Code to make sure you know what it would be allowed in that area.

They have a lot of code requirements on hurricane areas like the Caribbean (at least on tourist areas). You will be offering a service and charging for it. Your tinny house will need to be safe.

Before thinking on doing marketing or a nice video, check the local code and walk into the building department and check what would be allowed.

Great find @Stephen Hundley 

Keep us posted, we would love to see your progress.
