Hudson Cty - GC and/or Structural Engineer Recommendations

[Mike Teri]

Hello NJ BP! 

I am looking for recommendations for a vetted GC and Structural Engineer in Northern NJ, preferably within the Hudson, Essex, Union, and Bergen county areas. With all of the high-price construction and incredibly high percentage of rental property investment in this area, I know that GC's won't come cheap and that a good GC is worth the premium. I am hoping to pull from your experiences and avoid the pitfalls of getting taken for the proverbial 'ride' as I am just getting started with my first REI multi-family in Bayonne. I would love to have my first foray into REI start with a success story rather than an expensive hard lesson =)

With regard to the Structural Engineer, any foundation specialist will do. I am under contract on a MF property with water damage from a burst pipe that also happened to allegedly crack the foundation, causing flooding to a neighboring property. I am interested in having a firm understanding as to what the corrective action will cost. Your help is always appreciated, BP!

Thanks,

Mike Teri
