Contracting and IT Services in Real Estate

Hello - 

I am an investor in Louisville Kentucky that also owns a licensed and insured general contracting company and a small IT company.  So aside from investing, I have the ability to rehab others investor's projects, automate processes and build websites. 

What do you guys think is the best channel to market those services to investors.  

Other than BP of course! 

Thanks

Jimmy

@Brad Carrier @James Wright and @Brendan Spaar

For awhile I had thought that tech work would open some more real estate doors, directly. I am always a little surprised when I find there is less of a demand for it from potential partners and service providers. Contracting on the other hand, is always needed.

One thing that IT certainly helps with is earning cash. I make decent money as a software engineer, and am able to qualify for better financing and be the finance partner in deals just because there is money coming in the door. 

Lately, I have been picking up side work. Most of the work has the express purpose of making money. Some of it is very boring, doesn't matter, keeps me in the game.
