How to find a contractor/construction team for rehab?

[Daniel Bryant]

So I found a potential SFH that Im looking to invest in, in the Augusta GA area, and am looking to find a reliable contractor/construction team to turn it into my set goal. I am located far away in Queens NY so not accessible to be in the area to check it out and was wondering what is the best way to recruit someone for the project. Is it Craigslist? Facebook?

How did you find your go to construction person?

Thanks for any tips!

If you are going to try to run a real estate enterprise from 1000 miles away you need to establish a local team of good people before you plunk down one dollar on properties.You're going to need a solid real estate agent with experience in investor properties to help you acquire and sell or manage the rentals.The agents should have everyone else you need in their contacts list (contractors,plumbers,etc.).Go down there and establish your solid professional relationships and then start looking for good properties.Good luck.
