Philadelphia, PA - Best Practices to find Rehab Contractors

[David Vitarelli]

Hello All, I have dabbled in real estate for some time now. Personally, I only own two units but I have been active in helping my father "fix and flip" and "fix and rent" about 15 properties over the past 10 years. My personal REI strategy is the fix and rent strategy but I am faced with the sad truth of limited contracting skills so fixing up properties properly is a challenge for me. I am looking to form relationships with local contractors that I can work with on rehabbing investment properties in Philadelphia, PA and surrounding towns. I was hoping there may be a "best practice" or helpful guide that I can follow as I try to find a contractor. Thanks all!
