Thanks for the reply. Paying a contractor for consulting makes a lot of sense and is something I hadn't considered.

Thanks for the replies!  We will shop around and search for the best fit :)

Hi,

My wife and I are getting started investing. We've targeted BRRRR to make our money go further and have been studying up for a couple months. It's time to make the dive and find a property, but I've got one question that nobody else seems to ever have asked. At what point do you start interviewing contractors?

I know we need to build up a team including the real estate agent, property manager, lender, and contractor. All but the contractor make sense to build relationships ahead of time, but in order to interview a contractor, don't we need a house first for him to view and give us a scope of work and bid? I'm confused as this seems like a chicken and egg situation to me. We want a contractor's opinion before closing on the house, but with our fist house, we don't yet have a contractor we trust.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

My wife and I are getting ready to start our real estate investment journey. We are looking to BRRR in Jacksonville, Florida and as a first step are looking for a CPA to help us set up a tax entity and also to serve as a financial advisor throughout. We are nomadic, so we need someone willing to collaborate mostly through phone/video calls and email when appropriate. We would of course prefer a CPA that works with investors and/or invests themselves. Any and all recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
