Develop relationships with contractors you’ll need; attorney, appraisers, loan officiers, brokers, inspectors, etc. 5.

Personal Videos - Sending personal videos to your client whether that'd be congratulating them on getting under contract or getting to closing is a great way to connect.

@Miki SheinaizenI recommend finding local meetups to attend. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521I have found all of my best connections at local meetups.For your BRRRR strategy, partnering with a local property manager and connecting with contractors early on can help streamline your rehab process, especially if you’re not local.

If you are looking at properties in need of renovation, they want you to know your costs up front and many will be as-is purchases with the expectation that you aren't requesting repairs and your costs are confirmed.Depending on your state, but likely in all states, you have an inspection contingency in the contract, but what you will learn is that you will be competing against seasoned investors and contractors who know their numbers and houses so make better as-is offers.

Operations, well, you need a PM/Sup, you need a bookkeeper, you need a good contractor, and you need an assistant to manage other stuff.

Always looking for good contractors.

If you're planning to raise rents over time - would be good to get a bid from a contractor to figure what it would cost to fully redo one of the units so you have a template of what it could cost to redo all of them. 

Hello @Ricky Hernandez,Though I'm not familiar with what is customary in AZ, I'd recommend a home inspector over a contractor/handyman.

If I could offer one key piece of advice, it would be to focus on building your CORE 4: a great realtor, contractor, attorney, and property manager.

Focus on potential profit margins and market trends.Be Local: Understanding micro-markets within these neighborhoods can mean the difference between a good flip and a great one.Network: Partner with investor-friendly agents, contractors, and wholesalers who know how to find and secure off-market deals.Nashville's real estate market continues to thrive, and these neighborhoods are at the center of the action.
