How do I find good contractors/workers for my flips?

[Patrick Philip]

Ideally, I would have 1 contractor who would give me a reasonable price. I understand it's a lot of work. I did a lot of the work myself on the first one and I have good knowledge of most aspects of construction. I'm trying to expand to doing 25 flips per year, and it's not sustainable doing the work myself. I'm only 1 person and only have so much energy.

I've had some success finding cheaper "handymen" but they are often unreliable, etc. 

I know this business is work just like any, but is it possible to find what I'm looking for? I would pay a premium for a good contractor as long as he doesn't try to charge a huge amount.

I just don't know what to do. I realize it's a lot of work and I'm trying to hire someone else because I don't want to do it.

How do large firms find good contractors that don't charge an arm and a leg? Like the Blackrock Group or whatever. How do they do it?

Am I just stuck using Google, etc.?

If I could find good workers that I don't have to babysit, my business could expand tenfold. I know it's possible. How do I do it?
