you cannot and you shouldn't ever anybody
for this matter just say, ahh! your fire that's how good I am brat
you wanna how good I am because that's the next line
because I know my slides that good and that's the next line that's how good I am
I'm just saying guy's, I know
it's like I came up with myself
I did everything myself and here that is not how he do
the business and that right there is a house that I have already flipped
as well. And I already know that I can flip this house to a buyer on my buyers list
cause I got strong buyers list in this area
Hey what's up, guys john cochran here and today is system saturday the day that
I bring a system that I use my business
thta you can rip off duplicate using your own local market now on today systems saturday
session what were gonna talk about
is how to properly fire contractors now guys is not a matter of if
you're never gonna to fire a contractor is just a matter of when so we do our
absolute best to per-screen our contractors and make sure that were
only brain studs
to our job site now we have in the past and we're making a lot better decisions
now but we have in the past the fire a lot of contractors
just because we made poor decisions now there's a right way to do this
and then there's a wrong way to do this and I've done it both ways and I'm going
to show you both
on today systems saturday session so you don't get into any issues
like what I did the first thing you need to understand whenever you came to the
conclusion that
you know this is just not working out between me and the contractor
maybe they didn't show up for whatever it might be end result is you gotta get
rid of them and bring in new contractor and to fill their spot understand this
is that understand the contractors there always
1099.. okay they don't work for you
they are not employees of yours your not paying their en shores so they're
always
1099 meaning that they are independent contractors working for themselves
you had just hired him to do a particular job okay
so how in the world you properly fire
these contractors whenever you come down to it that you just have to do this
okay the first thing is you can't in you shouldn't fire them as employees they're
not in a voise you cannot fire them
as an employee any time the fire anybody okay it's gonna happen guys this
business
any time the fire contractor in time do you have to fire employees
the truth of is that you can never say the words
you're fired so if a contractor is not showing up in and he's
his wanting checked his wanting check his wanting checks and then all the sudden
you going he start showing up and you say you know what I'm sick of this
I'm gonna just call this guy up from gonna get face to face with them
I'm just gonna let him that you're fired your fired I'm done with you, you don't mess
with my time
guy's that is the
worst possible thing that you can do even that
that's because you want to say that you cannot say that it's a very bad
business way to fire somebody to never say that you're fired and you have to be
careful
you have to be careful guy's by doing this
in a up cost me thirteen thousand dollars and two years
in litigation because they put a lien on my property and that's what we're
avoiding today
so you gotta be careful when you're firing contractors they can lien
your property understand that just understand that is whenever you find a
contractor any
or any contractor for that matter as they can lien your property team have to
do this
very strategically and proper okay bite your tongue
bite your tongue don't get in their faces say you're fired you're fired on
done with you
and i just dont you cannot do that bite your tongue be professional here
okay always pay them for the work performed this is what I see most okay
be fair always be fair always very you have to be
fair so the best thing to do whenever you've came to you
the the realization that you in the contractor you guys just gonna have to
part ways
make sure that if they did perform the work like if they didn't do a little
work
prom pay them for that work don't screw them out on any money because that's the
best way
to get a lien right on your property and you know what they didn't work they should
deserve the pay
okay so always pay them for their work here's the magic works
here's magic words when you have to fire them hey guys I think this really aren't
working out for us on this job site
and I need to bring in another contractor finish things up here those
are the magic words that you need to literally
no into the back your head so that anytime you fire a contractor
this is the proper way to do it that is the proper way to do it
that's an easy way to get out of it okay so what you do is you go up to me tell
them that line
you cut them their final check for the work that they didn't perform
in exchange for a lien waiver
me go back to that you cut them
their final check for the work that they perform
in exchange for the lien waiver
meaning that now they have this lien on their property
her now they they literally have their check and they sign this document
they cannot put a lien on your property okay they cannot put a lien on your
property
now can they still put a lien on your property absolutely but once they sign
the paper
and then they say they don't put a lien on your property which a thousand people
out of a thousand one will not do this
but there's always that one so even though they signed this they still can
put a lien on your property but as soon as
you literally getting the court or whatever you show them this its outlets
out the door
done see you you tell them now on things
things are just not working out between us I'm gonna have to bring in somebody
else in it perform this work
here's our here's your uh final check in exchange for
a lien waiver so guy's get this lien waiver will save you so
go the go below this video right now I'm going to give you copy the lien waiver
do this every single time that you cut a check
to a contractor because it will definitely help you out in the long run
guys that I do the business
and that's how you a fire contractor I'll see you on the next system saturday.
