@DarnYankeeUSMC What's the situation like in the trades these days? I inherited a house build project that my cousin was doing in 2021. He got the foundation done, before he died. At the time, I reached out to 6 or 7 generals to finish the build. Got zero bids.

Since then, been dealing the the estate, courts, and some issues with the building permits; but i about ready to start again. Is the contractor situation is a little better in 2023?
Not right now in my area. There's very few small contractors. Most of them are doing subdivisions, Apt complexes and multiple town houses. So the subs are busting ass to keep up with the schedule. Besides, subs can't find anyone that wants to work.
The contractors that were doing 8 to ten houses a year are gone.

I work alone. I've got 4 houses backed up with 3 more after that. No signs of slowing down just yet.
