The hardest part of flipping is knowing a good contractor.

3.Any recommendations for contractors or permit expediters in Covington who can assist with this process?

I have been told by a contractor that the foundation of the building is intact, so it does not need to be torn down but requires a "gut renovation down to the studs."

Take your inspection checklist and have the contractor complete the work he's already been paid for, make that part of the mediation.2.

You may have to search a bit for the right contractor or engineer - sometimes I see one solution dominating in an area - "that is how we always do it" 

Where I’m Focusing: Ohio (Dayton and Cincinnati) — I already have trusted partners for renovation and construction.Investment Strategies: I’m interested in fix-and-flip and BRRRR.Open to Networking: Real estate agents, investors, contractors, and anyone passionate about real estate.My Goal: To learn from experienced investors, share ideas, and build a scalable real estate business.Looking forward to connecting and learning from this great community! 

So yes, get a good General Contractor and have him bid it specifically to what you want. 

After meeting with a number (like 8) different contractors the quotes i got back made the deal, not a deal (i think). 

I enjoy hearing about peoples’ personal wins and innovative, creative strategies.
