Looking for investor-friendly general contractors!

Hello, investors from Alabama!

I am looking for a general contractor for a property located in Bessemer, Alabama. We are keeping property as a rental and  the property was recently remodeled so it might just need a light rehab. Today we have the inspections and detailed pictures of the property. 

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you

@Jose Antonio Flores

I'm not in Alabama, but you may want to consider looking for individual contractors that are trade specific.  If its a "light" rehab, its not really worth a General Contractors time, unless they are charging you a premium.  Which I am assuming you do not want.  

If you are doing multiple properties and can create a relationship with a GC, that might be appealing. Also, in the future you can do a JV with your GC. You could really create a good opportunity for yourself by getting his buy-in on the upside of your deal.

As being both a GC and an investor, that's my two cents.  Have fun!!!
