When searching for GC's

[Mike DeBuccio Jr.]

Hello from Tampa FL!

When searching for the right contractor for your investment project, what questions do you ask these prospective GC's?

I usually ask:

Are they "investor friendly" or do they usually work with fix&flips?

How many projects they take on at a time?

Can you provide 5 references?

Do you have examples (pictures) of past projects completed?

......

With that being said I am looking for more feedback and some more questions people may ask when choosing the right GC.

Thanks all!

Hey @Mike DeBuccio Jr.  Heres what contractors hear when you ask "are you investor friendly "    we hear cheap .  

I dont know about Florida , but here in Maryland contractors are swamped , we cant be fast because all the subs are busy we have to wait . I have a roof job and its a 2 week wait to get roof top delivery . 

One question to ask contractors now is  " how far are you backed up? "

We are getting calls now from customers price checking .  I have to tell them if they got 2 or 3 bids and they are close , dont expect anything much cheaper .  Prices are finally back up and jobs are profitable again .
