Finding out of the area contractors for a reasonable price.

[Joe S.]

Finding out of the area contractors for a reasonable price. So I have two properties out of the area that I am under contract to purchase. The first property a general contractor bid three times the material.

I’ll let him know that I would have to pass on buying a house if that was the only option I had. He let me know he had plenty of work. This was the referral by the property manager so I cannot rely upon the property manager to find me someone to rehab the properties.

  If somebody has cracked this code please let me know. 

I found a local guy number of years back by way of craigslist that actually rehab several properties for incredibly competitive price. He has since retired and moved out of the area.

 I’m a little nervous to try to find somebody off of craigslist for properties out of state. How does someone crack the code?
