Looking for a story about 2 friends i think. One of them and his father is starting a
house building/renovating firm and he buys old houses and fix them up.
And if i recall right he then rents them out.

Would've thought Emend by Eclipse from Lazlo Zalezac, but neither's father was involved in the business.
ISTR that being done in the Summer Camp series too.
And there was another DoOver story that had the MC start a business like that with his friend, and left his friend to run it while he went to college (to eventually start a billion dollar trucking empire) but I don't recall the name of that one at the moment.
Doing up old houses is something of a meme for Lazlo. Didn't Millionaire start out like that?

the mc worked in construction for a contractor,,,can't remember them doing remodels/renos though,,,

Certainly not on his own. And I don't believe the contractor was strictly renovations either, there was a bunch of new construction.

No. MC learned the contracting trade from the inside, enough to know he didn't want to spend his life doing it. But he never got into the flipping houses business.

The Hindsight 20/20 series By SmokinDriver
You may be thinking about the Richard Jackson Saga by Banadin. In the first book, Ninth Grade, Richard hitch hikes the West and sends funds home to his family with which they go into the real estate business. They buy duplexes and renovate them for rentals.
There seems to be a lot of that...
Didn't that get a book (or maybe just a few chapters) in the Nick Scipio camp stories? When he goes to college?
