Newbie investor in Columbia, SC looking for GC

[Brandon Graham]

Hello good people! I'm a newbie just getting my feet wet. Trying to learn all the ends of and outs of rental properties. I'm looking into the Columbia, SC market where there are a number of rehab properties that have the potential of being restored and rented out. However, I'm having the hardest time finding/choosing the "right" contractor for my future rehabs. I want to have a contractor on board before I even think of closing on any rehab property. So does anyone know of any good contractors that can handle fixer-upper restorations in the Columbia, SC area? Thank you in advance!

@Brandon Graham There are plenty of good contractors here.  Don't use that as an excuse to not get a deal.  I have great contractors in my network but we Still bid out projects.  You will never get a deal done if you put the cart before the horse.  

Get the deal and then find the contractors.  

Look for our next meet up event.  I'm waiting on the speaker before I confirm the date but it will be early November.  Come and meet GCs, investors and realtors.
