No contractors in Augusta for BRRRR strategy?

[Will Carbonell]

Hi Everyone. I have attempted to pursue BRRRR in the Augusta area of Georgia. My best friend, who lives in Augusta, wanted to help me get my investment career started by having me work with his uncle who is a general contractor. I got in touch with a great wholesaler who sent me a lead. I sent the lead to my friend's uncle to have him review the listing and when we could set up a time for him to go take a look. He was then met with some discouragement. He said that most contractors in the Augusta area are busy and are booked until the summer. The only time any of them would be able to check out the property is really during lunch time. So this means that they would have to come off the job site to go look at a job they may not get. In the Augusta area should I look for smaller time handymen? Is the previous statement made by my friend's uncle valid? Any advice and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
