how to get rehab done faster and efficiently

[Imran Ahmed]

hey guys so it comes down to my biggest vulnerability is fixing repairing properties that people kinda passing on and I see these great potential but afraid to buy cause how am I gonna get there without me having no experience working with contractors or repairing maintaining properties at all. Also, this is something I can't devote majority of my time to at this moment with crazy scheduled a full time job. Obviously, I could pick up the phone and call whole bunch of contractors to get someone even get to work over months long period of time while educating myself, but wonder is there any widely used tool/platform out there  where contractors bid where trusted reviews  are trustworthy and contractors value their reputation and reliable. 

I am also the kind of person snuggle with believing people first time (esp these kind of work and labor construction market never death or worked with) and other parties usually tend to rip me off. So, really not interested going that route, would be happy to get things done faster and reliably even paying some extra..any suggestion how you guys did when starting off?

Think about hiring a property manager to walk the property with you and give you suggestions about what must be done now, what should be done soon, and what can wait.  Pay them a fee (negotiable) to oversee the rehab, and sign a contract with them to manage the units when up and running.
