Contractors
I'm on my third property. First one I renovated myself (but was extremely time consuming...although fun). Second one I interviewed 7 contractors (excruciating). Some flaked out and took weeks to respond to basic questions. Others had no idea what "investor pricing" was all about. I finally found a contractor but not sure he will work out on this next property. So looking for recommendations.
The last property was a $40k reno. But this one is a much smaller job. Closer to $11-12k. Most of the job is flooring, paint, appliances, and some basic kitchen and bath updates. I really don't want to take this on myself (or at least all of it). Am I better trying to give this to a "handyman" or act as the GC and hang out at Home Depot looking for subs?
