Any ideas on how to go about finding quality part time work?

I just wanted to officially introduce myself to the BP community and acknowledge all the great people on here posting high quality information and articles.

Hey @Carl GraffI'm certainly no insurance-wiz, but my understanding is similair to yours in that most will use cost to rebuild as the basis for your premium.My guess as to why you're having trouble finding info online is that I think it's nearly impossible to give a blanket assumption to be used on a $/sqft basis nationally, and even locally I think you'll find challenges (the only difference location makes in the cost-based evaluation is the price of labor, for the most part, and does not address the issue of failing to account for different quality finishings/condition/upgrades). 

I am looking to team up with an accomplished flipper who already has a network of contractors that have proven success of churning out high quality homes. 

Unfortunately and almost expectedly his company's work quality and level of finished product is not as high as my other two GCs.

Specifically, go with LED bulbs(not the lousy ones from Ace hardware, but good ones with nice light quality,) and a .8 gallon per flush toilet(from Home Depot- Niagara Stealth) and a 1.75 gpm showerhead.

Any quality contractors come to mind?

@Long VangARV is generally looking at comps that are similar to your expected post rehab condition, depending on what you're upgrading and the quality of the upgrades (granite vs Formica as an example).

If you pick quality, stable tenants (normal life/move history, steady long term employment), the chance of them breaking a year lease is slim.
