How To Go About Finding Reasonably Priced Contractors For Flips
Greetings Everyone, I'm looking to get bids on my first solo flip in Orange California. I have been getting crazy numbers from contractors and I understand California isn't cheap, but I was hoping to get advice on how to find someone that's reasonable and dependable.

When it comes to contractors, or any service for that matter, it pays to remember the following:
There are three kinds of service--you can pick any two:
GOOD - CHEAP - FAST
1. GOOD service CHEAP won't be FAST
2. GOOD service FAST won't be CHEAP
3. FAST service CHEAP won't be GOOD
Keep investing and moving forward!
