Looking for a solid Indianapolis contractor for rehabs
I am really struggling to find a reliable contractor to help me with rehabs in downtown Indianapolis. It seems lile all the reputable contractors want to over-renovate and over-charge. Does anyone have a recommendation for a licensed contractor to handle basic rehabs... lipstick jobs? (floors, paint, kitchen, etc) I'm used to this type of rehab running 15-30k. Maybe I am underestimating the prices in Indy? Hopefully, I just haven't found the right contractor.

I agree with @Josh C., many neighborhoods are gentrifying right now and there are too many flips for any investor to handle. I recently had a conversation with a friend who flips quite a few per year and he said he doesn't take jobs for other people anymore because he's making so much money flipping for himself. So right now it's tough in Indy to find what you're looking for. If you do find someone - they're going to charge a lot.
