HN: Construction management is crucial!

Okay, hot button issue for the Nerds. If you are only a deal maker and not a construction manager, you will not make it. There, we said, go ahead and debate us. Through our 1,000s of personal deals and about that many through a lending business, the nerds see time and time again that all successful investors are good at finding the deal, but historically not so good at managing a rehab project.
