General Contractor advice needed!!!!!

Pradeep R.
Posted

Hello,

I am an out of state investor interested in memphis. I buy properties from turnkey companies and also from the MLS and give it to PM folks.

Lately I am noticing that in the houses that I have purchased there are issues that have surfaced which could have been handled in a better way when the property was bought itself. So I am seeking a general contractor contact who I could use as a guide to tell me the state of the pending fixes which are must DO before I buy the property. I would like to compensate the general contractor for the advice. Please let me know of any contacts that you might have at your disposal. I get an excellent hosue inspection report and I would like the GC to tell me the ones which are an aboslute must fix before I buy. This will save me some money in the longer run.

@Bruce Woodruff

I don't disagree with you. If I went to a GC and said "Hey, take a look at this job and I will pay you" and they took the money, that is the red flag. They should say, no, I will do it for you in hopes to get business.

Technically, I have been working with contractors since I was born. My Dad, uncles, cousins, you name it and my family did it. I have been on jobsites since I was 5 yrs old and I began working at 12. You are 100% correct! I am 40... in that picture. LOL! I have new head shots coming this July! Today, my facial hair is all white and more then half of my hair is white.
