We conclude our conversation and Q&A with Pat Dornan discussing the cost of repairs and issues surrounding the hiring and supervision of contractors. We talk a little bit about a package of documents I use in my business I call the Contractor Docs. These 11 documents include the ad I run to hire contractors, the application process, payment policy, Lien waivers, construction agreement and much more. I paid my attorney thousands of dollars over the years for some of these and some of the refinements in them have come from the various ways contractors have taken advantage of me. Even though they cost me thousands, I give them to you for free. All I want in return is your email address. Go to my website and click the link right on the home page.

- Marcus, Jackson, AL “This is a pretty small town. I own a couple of rentals here, but am very interested in the Buyers Club. I’m nervous about owning rentals in towns I can’t get to easily. How would I make repairs. I haven’t been able to join one of the webinars yet.”
- Candice, San Francisco, CA “What comes with membership? Documentation for purchasing and selling? Access to attorneys across the country? Is it broken down as to the additional fees? Do you own these or are we participating with you in the auction? Is it only through the broker you mentioned or do we find our own?
