Hi, my name is Leo I am currently stationed in Fort Campbell, KY. My wife and I just moved here and we are looking to get started in Real Estate Investing, to be more specific in Flipping Houses! So far we have been doing all the research making calls to contractors and real estate agents to get a feel for how this business works.

@Leonardo Castillo Welcome and thank you for your service to our country!

One thing I have found helpful when looking for honest, reliable, respected, investor-friendly contractors is to visit the towns building and permit office. Bring coffee and a treat. Ask if they can help answer questions and if they have a list of permitted and frequently used contractors from their records. Would they suggest who they find easy to work with and professional? Building rapport with the regulators is always a good thing- they have many useful war stories.
