also, happy to chat vendors, contractors, any other suggestions, etc. with you and be a resource anyway I can!

My contractor brought me a house off the market.

And working for a contractor that does flips or rentals would be ideal.

I suggest focusing on building your "Core 4" team—agent, lender (one who can finance both the purchase/rehab and refinance is ideal), contractor, and property manager.

If it weren’t for some contractor issues, we would have netted around $60K, but it ended up closer to $45-50K (I don’t have the exact numbers on hand).

Quote from @Aaron Wolman: General question, I am turning over my first rental and I got the charges from my contractor on damage done and I want to see peoples opinion. 

Cost of rehab is a few months and around $10k I think — I'm waiting for contractors to look at the property to verify this for the things that I don't already have a good handle on the cost for. 

I’d be happy to connect and share ideas on building a solid plan, like assembling your CORE 4 (agent, lender, property manager, contractor) to help streamline your journey.

any South Carolina investors, contractors or anyone in the real estate field in SC wants to connect?

A formal business built on this seems overkill as you’re essentially paying someone for a service that already has standard model.If you and the parnter have distinct business tasks/abilities (i.e. not what you would hire an agent or contractor for), such as off-market lead generation, that’s a different discussion.
