MD Contractor Needed

[Jered Butler]

Hello Everyone, 

I just moved back to Maryland from Seattle and am looking to invest in my first  estate in Baltimore, Maryland as a househack. I’m looking at purchasing either a multi family home or a single family home and operating the basement as a separate apartment. I was looking for a contractor to add a basement egress. Does anyone have any recommendations on contractors. I would also love tips and tricks for finding househackable multifamily homes/single-family homes in the Baltimore/DMV area!

Thank you all in advance.

Jered C Butler.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets! If you search on BP for "Need a contractor" you'll see that many people ask this question, but few people respond with an answer (in any market, not just Baltimore). This is true for several reasons. People don't want to give up their contractor on a public forum. Also, what constitutes a good contractor might change over time. I might recommend person ABC who is fantastic in 2021, but not in 2023. 

Unfortunately, this piece is going to take a little more effort on your part lol. Definitely ask questions on BP! Connect with other investors in Baltimore! Go to meetups (there's a weekly meetup at Spirits West on Fridays at noon, which is fantastic). Join the Baltimore or MD real estate investing groups on facebook - that's a little more personal, and a great way to network. Once you've networked with people, you'll find people are much more willing to share contacts. Hope this helps! Wish you lots of luck!
