How did you assemble your contracting team?

[Evan Manship]

All serious, full-time investors have "their guys" or a team of guys they can call for just about every fix/flip project. I am curious - for those of you who have a "team" how did you come about finding them? How many did you go through before you stuck with the same guys?

What can someone who is just getting started do to make sure the same mistakes aren't made?
