Rehab advice from a Home Inspector / Contractor

[Michael Lovell]

Investors please do yourself a favor and talk to and seek guidance on your rehab / remodeling work from experienced and knowledgeable General Contractors or even a Home Inspector with construction background. I've inspected 3 or 4 flips this year where there have been major issues. Most of them fairly common sense design flaws and just basic construction knowledge. Hiring a qualified GC could save you thousands in mistakes by subcontractors who just pretend to know what they are doing. You can't wear all the hats. Find a good expert in residential construction and your homes will fly off the shelf because they were done right. Look to your local Home-Builders association or Home Inspection Association for good contacts.
