New Investor in Houston

[Aaron Moore]

Hello BP world!

I've been listening to the podcasts and analyzing properties in the area close to my office in Houston in the Westchase area (northwest of the Southwest Freeway and Beltway 8 intersection). 

I am currently looking at a property that needs a full renovation that I'm cautiously estimating to be around 50k.

My plan is to live in this home after the remodel and then in time buy another home to move into and rent this one out.

I am thinking that the smartest thing to do as a beginning "investor" is to hire out the work to a general contractor instead of physically doing it myself.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good GC in the west Houston area for a 1,750 square foot two story home?
