I would highly recommend the "Guns N Roses Method." 

The most reliable method to locate liens and their positions is to conduct a title search through a title company.

To answer your last question, my realtor has contractor contacts I should be able to leverage for rehab budget estimates, as well as family friends with experience in the construction trades.

On the 2nd I hired all licensed trades but separately.

I'm looking to buy my first rental property, that I would live in and use the BRRRR method on.

And everything is a trade between time and money.  

If you don't mind me asking, @Collin Hays and @John UnderwoodWhat methods do you use without dynamic pricing?

Although it is possible to do everything 100% remote, most people I know who are self managing do come on site for a few days or weeks to meet and sort of interview the team they are building.You will need trusted cleaners, handymen, and also good recs for trades i.e. roof, plumbing, HVAC, etc.If you need home setup in most markets there are designers who will handle the whole set up for you, and I would want to interview them as well.  

BUT WAIT, there's more:  Then when I hit submit, I got a message "your payment method has been removed successfully. 

I do engagement marketing in a trades focused field lending me to having very good relationships with tradespeople whom I consider friends- and I trust thoroughly.
