Overall cost of flipping/sqft including landscaping

[Giacomo Bugatti]

I am embarking in my first investment property and while it's daunting, it's also exciting. I would like to know a bit more on how flippers choose contractors that will actually take the job to the finish line and won't disappear half way with all the money. I know seasoned flippers do have their own team but what about someone that is just starting, is Yelp the way to go? Any piece of advice on getting high quality look for not top dollars is appreciated.

@Giacomo Bugatti if you want good contractors, and still be able to make money flipping houses my first piece of advice would be: don’t find them online.

Steal them from other flippers (happens to me all the time)

Find them at Home Depot at 5am (best electrician I’ve ever had)

Talking to other investors? Idk...I can tell you this, I’ve never given my best guys to anyone else, I keep them for myself. (They still get poached all the time)

Every time I pay contractors ahead of schedule, I get screwed, my timeline goes to hell, and my wife yells at me (true story)
