Hoarder House in Los Angeles Advice

[Kellen Canfield]

Aloha BP community, I have a duplex in West LA that I'm trying to get some advice on. 

I am working with my friend who owns it and we are kicking the current tenants out of both units to get it fixed up and performing at its highest and best. 

The tenants in the upstairs unit (his parents) have been hoarding for a long time and consequently there are a lot of things in the way of finding out the true condition of the house. We are trying to get ahead of the game as far as knowing what needs to be done to get the most rent that we can out of each unit and getting bids for that work, but are not sure where to start. 

Does anyone (specifically in the LA area) have suggestions on any companies that deal with hoarder houses? 

Does anyone (specifically in the LA area) have suggestions on quality, trustworthy, GCs that we could get to do the work?

We've thought about having a home inspection done to identify all of the areas that would need work done. Should we try and get that done after the hoarding situation is taken care of and the space is easier to inspect?

Thanks,

Kellen
