Hi all,

I'm not sure how to focus this...

So I have done a couple of minor to easy rehabs where I didn't need to tear down any walls or build structures. My skill level is limited to upgrading an existing space with new paint, fixtures, flooring, and lighting; this includes exterior painting, roof shingle upgrades, and deck building. I am looking to start getting into some more complicated rehabs (high-end type). My questions are:

- What does the planning phase look like? Especially if you're moving or tearing down walls or re-configuring an entire layout.

- Do you hire a general contractor to manage the job?

- Are there experienced Columbus, OH investors I can partner with if I were to find a deal requiring this scope of work?

Thanks!
