Rockstar Contractors - how do you know?

Rockstar Contractors: what i’d love to know is how you find them, how you screen for them, how you weed them out? How do you empower and protect yourself - do you include due dates, late penalties, etc in your contract documents?

Conversely - what are some red flags that you may be talking to a contractor who you shouldn’t work with.

Any tips, techniques, tricks, points, questions, would love to hear ‘em.

@Thomas Stanley every rock star contractor I have was a referral from another investor that I trust. Now when I need a contractor, I immediately reach out to 5 or 6 investors who own commercial apartment buildings in my area to see if they have good contractors. I still am careful using them the first time, but I have had mostly great success with referrals.
