Contractors to do Rehab Apprasials

Robert Fielding

Posted

Hey Gals and Guys -

I’m hitting a bit of a brick wall when it comes to finding a reliable contractor to walk potential flips with me. My hope was to work with one or two contractors in my area, but I simply cannot find one who is a) reliable and b) able to make time for me.

I want to know how a pragmatic, numbers-driven investor can gain expertise, or find experts, to turn around my property evaluations and offers in days, not weeks.

Has anyone gone as far as adding the contractor a bit of backend compensation once the flip sells to pique their interest and get them actively involved?

Thank you, for any ideas/contacts you be able to share.

You’ll likely need to pay them to come do an estimate for you. A Good estimate  takes hours. Contractors would go broke spending all their time running around giving estimates to wannabe flippers who may never buy a property.
