Looking for good contractors in Kalamazoo,MI

[Changseok Kim]

Hello,

I am planning my first flipping house, and would like to know how much rehabs will cost. Do you bring general contractors to houses before writing offers to buy it? How do you know how much it will cost for rehabs? I already read the book by Scott, but as a newbie, I am afraid to solely rely on what I read from the book. Also afraid that I may miss major troubles while inspecting houses on my own.

Also, I heard so many horrible stories about hiring contractors. Can I ask your advice for how to connect with good contractors? Would you recommend good contractors in or near Kalamazoo, MI?

Thank you so much in advance!
