Hey all, bought a house in Orlando and now need to hire someone to rehab it. Not flipping right away, some family members might live there for a few years, but want to update and make it inviting and made me think of houses that are rehabbed and flipped. Cost is always a consideration, but since this isn't a pure investment, not looking at it as cash return, cost, value of improvements, etc. 

I'm not good at making all the little decisions about how/what, just want someone who can say, yeah need to replace/update this, and fix up that, etc. 

anyone have recommendations for a general contractor that can just run with the whole project? 


 Finally, a good contractor is one of the hardest things to do. In my opinion. I've decided based off of my past experiences that hiring somebody you know and trust is more important than how much the cost is. At least then you know you're getting your money's worth.

 Agreed... Not from Orlando so don't have anyone I know trust yet 🤷‍♂️

@Zach Z. What part of Orlando are you in? contractors are busy and like to stay within a certain range so recommendations will be based on where you are.

What kind of job do you have that pays that little for 70 hours a week? I commend you for working that hard for that little, but that's typically what you expect for very low skill labor, and you sound more sophisticated.

You can't buy a port-o-potty for $90k in this area.

Enjoy the government rent subsidy and sit pretty. Not everyone needs to open a home... With such low income, how will the person cover the mortgage if they're between jobs.

Be careful, even in Potomac, I'm not sure a teardown is worth a million.  Look around and you'll see mansions on 2 acres being offered for under $2 million in 20854.  Some even under $1 million.
