Recommendations for a contractor from personal experience
Looking for a general contractor in cleveland area who can give me renovations estimates at a friendly price, and who will be available to go and see several properties a week. please recommend me from your personal experience about reliable and available contractor ready for work and make renovation estimates, thanks you all.
There are a few however most reputable and quality contractors aren't going to look at several properties a week and give detailed bids on that many properties just so that you can decide if you want to put in a bid to purchase. The best guys are very busy and I would warn you that if someone has the time and willingness to do what your asking that you should be very wary. If you already have properties you should see if you can go through that network or give someone some small jobs on your existing portfolio to build a relationship, if you don't have any properties yet then you might want to take a less aggressive approach when moving into a new market.

Yuppers. Only way to accomplish what you're trying to do is if you want to pay $300-$500 per bid. Doing that several times a week seems like an awfully large operating cost for what sounds like a brand new small scale operation.
