The best way to find one is word of mouth. 

This is a mouthful/rant so thank you to anyone who decides to read this.

I think the only thing you would gain is happier tenants and more curb appeal.  

That's putting your money where your mouth is. 

I threw up in my mouth and just ignored that one.My grandmother told me she heard that wholesaling was easy and anyone can do it.

I am not saying that all Investors here are the same, but too many like to buy the materials themselves and try to micro manage the contractors companies, I am sure that a good number of the stories here on BP about bad contractors have 2 sides to the story that people do not get to hear, I personally have just made it my policy not to work that way and have been working by word of mouth for 32 years as a general Contractor.Now if you are talking about Time and Material project, then I would recommend you open an account at a local lumber yard, have the contractor purchase the material on your account, this way you know what exactly has been spent for everything.

This was an off market deal we acquired by a referral of word of mouth from mutual friends.

Agree with the comment above - Anything near 11-13th East 21st South, or 9th and 9th, would be great for dining/entertainment while only being about 10-15 min freeway drive to the mouth of the canyons. 

Thanks JohnI have found this past year the best way to find tenants for my office space has been word of mouth and signage on the property.

Not sure of market fees, but last time I checked in the Tokyo market, it was like 30% of "rents".That said, I have heard of people that do it, and Niseko seems to be one of the best markets for it (based entirely on word-of-mouth, not on any research I've done).
