What stage of BRRRR to hire a GC

[Samuel Dunlap]

Hello BP Community,

I've invested in multifam for a while and completed moderate renovations, but never under a time crunch that a traditional BRRRR strategy would call for. I'm curious to know at what stage do those with experience recommend locating the GC that will undertake the reno? I've seen conflicting information that it's wise to lock one on prior to having a deal (through general questions to find a good fit) and I've also seen it's fairly easy and efficient to vet them once a deal is found and they can actually submit bids. Is there a right answer here? Appreciate your feedback.
