In search of a contractor for a fix and flip (HTX)
Hi BP community.
I'm new to REI and may have found my first deal. In search of a trusted contractor in Houston TX. I need someone who is trusted, licensed, reputable and offers detailed scope of work description (versus bulk number).
thanks in advance

@Mauricio Quintana- Thats a great mentality, its just easier said than done. "Hire a contractor" is what everyone wants to do, and yet is the #1 reason people claim their projects fail. I am suggesting that simply claiming to be a contractor, in TX, means nothing more than they have a business card. You must know what you want and why before reaching out to people. I am merely suggesting that you educate yourself before you hire someone, unless you are willing to pay a full service GC retail pricing to handle every aspect, you will need to know some stuff.
