Landed first flip (Yahoo!)- Need a GC!

Hi, forum!


After getting my real estate license, analyzing over 100 deals on MLS, visiting MANY houses (omg Houston is huge), submitting 13 offers in two months (!), I landed my first flip! It's a 4/2 colonial in 77042. It's what I would call a grandma special. LOL. It needs about $50k of work to reach it's $400k ARV. I'm having a the local flip reno guys bid on the deal (Fast Track), but I would like other bids as well. I'm trying to finish the SoW as quickly as possible, but I would like a GC lined up before I close mid-July.

Can anyone recommend me to investor-friendly (i.e. not retail) contractors?  

I appreciate the guidance and will keep you updated on the progress!!
