Finding Trustworthy Contractors in Cincinnati

[Ryleigh Simone]

Newbie Here - I'm planning to start real estate investing using the BRRRR strategy in Cincinnati Ohio.

So far, finding funds and financing has been the easy part. It's the rehab that has me worried. I've screened several contractors for "small jobs" around my primary residence as a way of screening their potential for a larger rehab job. I found most of them through random internet searches but can't seem to find one that has both the competence and the character to get me to a place of trust for a BRRRR. I've heard that choosing the wrong contractor could be fatal to first time RE INVESTORS. I'm hoping this community can help me with tips on spotting red flags on what to avoid, advice on what to look for to find the perfect contractor and of course any referrals or recommendations from personal experience.
