Submitting work to be bid on

[Jason Logston]

I am new to the industry. I have bought one property and it needed some a little work, which I used the realtor to find some options and found a crew to do the foundation work and new roof I needed. I am operating from out of state but believe I have found a good market and plan to continue working in the area. I am familiar with the areas, just not he people so much. My question is for my next project, what is the best way to find contractors for the work I need? I have read or heard something like this several times " Put the work up for bids and go through the responses you get back from the contractors and of course ask for and get recommendations". How does one put work out for Bids and and does anyone have tips on how best to put the work out there to ensure you are getting accurate bids?
