Hey BP,

I work with investors with the Lees Team, and one the common questions that comes up is about GCs.  Where to find them and how to qualify them?  Here is what i learned so far.

Where?

- Meetups or REI groups

- Referrals (Investors, Friends, Family)

Qualify Them

- Licensed and Insured?

- Bonded?

- Experience

- Where/When was last project

- Number of Projects done so far?

- Any current projects they still working on

- Work with investors often?

- Deposits - how much they want upfront, 

- References

- Test on small jobs

These are general tips i come across, not comprehensive, so please if there any tips or ideas you have please post.
