Rehab and Maintenance in the area

[Leroy K. Williams]

My son recently relocated from Detroit to LA.  The experience has been very interesting for him since he assumed as a seasoned home remodeler he would be able to connect with rehabbers out west and do some of the same things there that he does in Michigan.  It doesn't seem to work the same way.  I guess in Detroit we have a larger volume of rehab investing going on than there is there, or the market is saturated with skilled tradespeople and finding good help is not really a thing.

How do rehabbers there typically connect with tradespeople?
