Contractor to help with flip

Hello. So I have a property I’m trying to flip but can’t seem to get past the hiring a contractor (or contractors) part. Is it that busy out there? Is this time of year more active than other times? I need someone who’s licensed and insured and able to look at what I think is fair and let me know if that’s can meet those numbers. Am I doing something wrong here?

@Rashad S. Where are you trying to source your contractors from? I always suggest starting by visiting your local builders supply.  Ask for a manager. 9 times out of 10 they have a stack of cards from contractors that frequent the store. 

Also i know some of the big box stores work with a variety of contractors which are required to be licensed/insured. But its possible you're going to pay more going that route.
