Hello BP Community,

I’m posting on behalf of a friend who urgently needs help finding a reputable contractor in Birmingham, Alabama for a duplex rehab project.

Background:

• My friend lives in Maine and purchased a duplex in Birmingham in June 2024. The property required substantial rehab.

• He initially hired a contractor and paid $45,000 upfront. That contractor failed to complete the work and has since filed for bankruptcy.

• Recently, we connected with another contractor who visited the site, reviewed the scope, and expressed interest in completing the job. We had promising conversations and agreed to proceed.

Current Situation:

• The contractor insisted on purchasing materials from Home Depot himself and having my friend pay over the phone. We declined and explained we preferred in-person coordination.

• To move things forward, my friend flew down to Birmingham and has remained on-site, ready to oversee the rehab through completion.

• Since his arrival, the contractor has gone silent — not answering calls or responding to messages.

• We now need a reliable and professional contractor to step in and help us salvage this project.

What We Have:

• A clear Scope of Work is ready.

• A standard contract agreement has been drafted.

• My friend is physically present in Birmingham, prepared to coordinate and support the project through completion.

If you are a contractor or can personally refer someone reputable in Birmingham, we’d deeply appreciate your help. We are looking for a pro with experience in rehabs.

Please comment below or DM me directly. Time is of the essence, and we are ready to move forward immediately with the right team.

Thank you in advance,

Awesome stuff @Alan Asriants. If possible, please post a picture of the final flooring work.

Hey BP community,

I used to rely on AreaVibes for their Livability Score when analyzing potential multifamily real estate opportunities, but I recently noticed that they no longer provide that single score for an address.

I'm looking for a similar site that offers a single, easy-to-read livability score rather than multiple data points that I have to manually dig through.

Does anyone know of a good alternative that provides a simple, at-a-glance rating for neighborhoods or cities? Thanks in advance!

@Derrick E. Do you have to boost the post on Facebook MP?

I haven't post a vacancy on Facebook market place for about a year or so...it use to generate 100s of inquiries/responses daily, but I posted a vacancy a week ago and it hasn't generated a single inquiry. What am I doing wrong?

Hello BP Community,

I'm looking for recommendations for a reliable and experienced asset protection attorney. The primary focus is on real estate investments for myself and a group of friends/fellow investors. If anyone has had positive experiences with a particular attorney or firm, I would greatly appreciate your insights and referrals.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,

@Russell Brazil - Google doesn't return much.

Do you happen to have Mike's contact info?

I was hoping to have more from the Philadelphia folks in the forum.

Thank you
