FHA - 203k Rehab Contractors Needed - Duplex

[Christa Hegedus]

Hi everyone, I am currently getting pre-approved for a 203k loan and looking for a contractor within the Tampa/Saint Pete FL market who has experience with fixing up duplexes which are acquired using a 203k loan. There is a lengthy more detailed process and need an expert contractor for this.

Anyone know how I can find this type of super human 203k contractor? Thank you!

Hey @Christa Hegedus Congrats on getting started with your pre-approval process! I am currently in the "Save and fix your credit" phase, but I am actually looking to move to the Tampa/St.Pete area myself and plan on utilizing the FHA 203k loan as well so I have researched a couple of contractors who are familiar with the 203k loan and the processes surrounding it.

The main one I found that seems to be really good is Hybrid Construction LLC https://www.hybridgc.com/ While I cannot vouch for their work (as I have not use them personally yet), the photos and videos I've seen on youtube for their rehabs look authentic. They also really breakdown the process and make it less overwhelming especially if this is your first time and you are just starting out.  

Additionally, I've seen other BP members recommend using https://203kcontractors.com/ to search for contractors who are familiar with the 203k loan in the areas you are looking for. 

I hope this information can be of some help!
