Valuing your time and understanding your limits and skills will make a big difference in the equity you build, the quality of the work and your sanity. 

—it’s also about reliability, attention to detail, and someone who just “gets” your space and your guests’ expectations.Do you have any hidden gems, local recommendations, or tips to share?

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Jerry NoguerasRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Let me know if you need any tips on working with contractors or setting expectations.

Does anyone have any tips on how to find the right guys or methods that you use to vet people?

A lot of times it is pulling value from thin air.
