Contractors for full rehab near El Dorado Springs, Missouri

[Cristal Rivas]

Hello,

I am at the beginning of my Investing journey, I believe I have found my first property in El Dorado Springs MO. I am looking for contractor recommendations in the area to help with the rehab.

Does anyone have any recommendations or have personally worked with anyone in that area of Missouri?

I have contacted some PM companies but would also like the opinion of someone who will not be in charge of future maintenance.

Thanks in advance!!

Hmm...El Dorado Springs, MO. I am pretty familiar with that neck of the woods. It is a very rural area. I am not sure there are very many folks on this forum that have heard of that place. May I ask why you chose that town?

It's been a while since I have been through there, so I don't know any contractors. If you have talked to property managers there, they should have recommendations for you. Get some phone numbers and call them. It wouldn't hurt to go meet them at the property, at least for the first property, so you know who you are dealing with. If you find someone you like and trust, it will be easier to call them up for the next property rehab.

I invest in rural Midwest from out of state and the initial legwork is the hardest. If you find a good property manager who can advise you on local contractors, neighborhoods, houses to choose/avoid, and how to prepare your house to maximize rent for the ares, they are worth their weight in gold.

Good luck!
