Any referrals or recommendations for good and qualified brokers, sellers, property management companies, loan brokers, insurance brokers, mortgage brokers, contractors, etc.

Do you have property managers and contractors who your clients have been using for over a year successfully?

In the future, I’ll factor in contractor costs more.

Quote from @Polat Caglayan: 1500 sq ft and a mid-level renovation that complies with section 8 standards I would get a contractor out there 

It is a older non rehab property but things are straight and roof, plumbing, electrical are all in good working order.

Are there team members (RE agents, wholesalers, lenders, PMs, contractors, etc) you'd recommend?

@Anade DavisHi Anade, You’re on the right track with reaching out to your survey and engineering company—they often have strong connections to local contractors.

However, these properties generally have a lot of land improvements that qualify as well as certain portions of electrical, mechanical and plumbing that can qualify.

As a contractor and cabinet maker it made much more sense financially to purchase a home with a rental unit and manage the property myself.

**As investors, you are closest to the consumer (home buyers/renters), so you tend to absorb costs and reduced profits from unexpected spikes in expenses that wholesalers or contractors pass on to you!
