We had some other work done by contractors.

I would find a good realtor, use Kiavi or wild-cat for lending, and good contractors through your realtor, and a local PM.Then you can re-fi using a DSCR loan and leave very little money in the deal and have it cashflow.

Now that I found out about my property I just had to take down from mls, I decided to bring that contractor through this one.

I have a general contractors and interior design license.

There are inconveniences to investing out of state like traveling to see properties, meeting with contractors, checking work, checking the property condition.

I have contractors and home warranty for each of the 8 doors.  

Getting multiple contractors involved will be your best bet to get a reliable estimate, though you need to come up with a scope of work.

Never believe the original timeline the contractor gives you!

Looking for recommendations for a good General Contractor in the Norfolk, Virginia area.

If they need a contractor, yeah I would love to connect.
