Читать книгу Why Do Contractors Lie? - J.O.A.Maurice - Страница 2

“I find the book to be quite informative. The author is honest, admitting his mistakes, successes and the lessons he learned along the way. As an investor who rehabs and flips houses for a living, this book laid bare all the pitfalls I have gone through and continue experiencing. The steps the author has listed in the book in various stages of hiring and managing a contractor are clear, methodical and practical. I recommend this book to any struggling investor or a newbie. The book is basically a manual written in a serious but entertaining manner.”

“If I, a contractor, liked this book, then many people in the construction industry should treasure the messages in here. At first, when I saw the book cover “Why Do Contractors Lie?” I said to myself, sure this is another book bashing contractors. Interestingly, I couldn’t put the book down once I started reading as many of the examples are real, and the book is written in a very persuasive manner. I have always thought that contractors get a bum rap, but the book gave me a different perspective. It was like looking at myself in a mirror! Until this time, I had never realized that some of the things we do as contractors can be that bad. At least some of us. Now that I have read what people say about us, I have acquired a new sense of purpose and will be more careful how I treat my clients. I recommend this book to other contractors and they will be surprised what they or their friends in the industry do. They will also know what investors and property owners think of them. The information I have read here has forever changed the way I approach my work and my clients. I hope other contractors will also read this book with an open mind.”

“I have never read a book that highlighted my mistakes the way this one has done. I am a seasoned real estate investor but I still have a long way to master the contracting process and fully be comfortable working with contractors. Every now and then I think I have learned from a past experience, another contractor pulls a fast one on me! From reading this book, I have realized that it is the “contracting stupid” to paraphrase another political commentator in the 90s. Contractors get away with a lot because property owners do not take the time to learn the tools of the trade in the business they are in. I highly recommend getting a copy of this book if you want a clearly written, informative, engaging, and easy to understand material peppered with real life experiences.”
