East Texas RE Investors
My wife and I have negotiated to purchase our first REI deal in East Texas, near Longview. I would like to network with other REIs that are connected to this area.
The property has some great potential, but needs some work. Getting a contractor to give me a bid has proven difficult. Also, this property is unoccupied with a ton of junk inside - which means thieves are coming in and out as they please. How do I find a reliable contractor that comes with a reliable price and stop the break-ins?

Hi Adrian!
I also am investing in East Texas, I live in Tyler. We just did a full remodel on our home, and hired all of the contractors individually. I have a good Tile guy and drywall guy and trim guy (3 different people) plus a plumbing company that I can recommend.
Let me know if that's work you need done!
