Trouble Finding Rehab Contractors

Investor in the Mobile, AL area here. 23 doors and rapidly expanding BUT...

I'm having significant issues finding reliable contractors that do quality work in my area for my BRRRR's.

I have used friends (big mistake), referrals which are either overpriced or flakey and even tried Homeadvisor to no avail.

I have great property management, an abundance of deals and plenty of motivation but contractor relations is my weak spot.

What’s everyone’s best advice for building a strong, reliable contracting team?

if you're looking for a contractor that's fast, cheap and does quaility work; you're looking for a unicorn. 

Cant have all three traits they dont exist. 

As a plumbing contractor how I've learned that one of the best ways to meet another decent contractor is to go an acutal supply house (not homedepot) and see who the regulars are.
