Building a Handyman/Contractor Network

[Pete Woelfel]

Hi All,

For those of you with experience rehabbing distressed properties, and also self managing multiple units, I'm curious what kinds of things you've done to build your network of contractors/handymen. I find myself "googling" for every repair that comes up even though many of the jobs are small and could be completed fairly easily by a "jack of all trades" type (or me if I had more time!). I'm also hoping to eventually dip my toe into the water of a BRRRR type project, but am concerned that I won't be able to find the right people to do the rehab in a timely or price effective manner. I'd really appreciate the thoughts of those of you who built networks of people that you can reliably call for small jobs and those you can schedule larger projects with.

Thanks!

Pete
