Overcrowding can strain plumbing, electrical systems, and air conditioning, leading to expensive maintenance issues.

Does anyone have a good contract or outline of terms they like using with contractors? 

That property was also supposed to be a few month flip, but I had to fire my contractor who I'd been working with on all my properties.

Over this time I have acquired my contractor team and have vetted them through my job as a property manager, figured out my strategy(Off Market/Deep buying) and location.

The furthest properties are the hardest to deal with because my contractors don’t want to travel that far due to their time wasted driving and the cost of gas for their big trucks.

Your financial background is a huge asset, and it’s great that you’re starting locally in Milwaukee while keeping an eye on future expansion.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin is a fantastic resource for networking with rental portfolio owners, accessing legal resources, and finding contractors. https://www.aasew.org/For mentors, funding sources, and flippers, the Milwaukee REIA is another great group to explore. https://www.milwaukeereia.com/I’m a member of both and find unique value in each—maybe we’ll cross paths at a future meeting!

Quote from @Yvonne Wang: First time working with a contractor here.

Is it electric heat?  

Although, it's very capital intensive and you have to rely on a lot of factors you can't control, contractors, interest rates, market shifts, realtors, buyers, appraisers, inspectors, material costs, weather etc etc.

I would love to get the name of some of your contractors.
