My market is San Diego so I do not have direct referral for a GC in north Hollywood but I will say my preferred way to get contractors is direct referral.

If you want a referral I've worked with Ben at RPM Detroit and they do a solid job--happy to make an intro if you want to send me a direct message. 

Instead of shelling out $60K for a $250K deal, maybe some of you can help me figure out (or give referrals) to title companies, etc, or give overall advice how to save me money from this enormous financial endeavor (closing the deal).Thanks!

We offer a $200 referral fee, and have been considering increasing it. 

You could pay the contractors but if you can be a strong referral source I'm sure they'd be happy to give you estimates.

The best way to find an agent with the skill sets you’re looking for is to ask for referrals from people you trust or on places like BP.

Was it through internet search/referral/ other channels? 

My company offers fast-closing, no credit/bad credit loan packages in 44 states and referrals in the other 6.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone give you a referral, don’t make the mistake of assuming that PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.We also can’t believe how many owners hire the first PMC they speak with!

Have run across this issue several times when getting referrals from other real estate investors.
