My name is Rebecca and my husband, Nick Knox III and I have run Captain Save a Home LLC, Brew City REI Club, Brew City REI Training Cafe and Wisconsin Contractor and Handyman Club based out of Milwaukee, WI for over a decade.

To pay my contractors and employees I collect their bank information and can send an ACH directly to their bank account. 

Get a written quote and have a 3rd party contractor do the work.

Do we focus on flipping, (currently we have actually been trying to do this, but we physically can't find enough contractors in our smaller market <100K population to do that much work).

As an example, my neighbor added a second story to her home and the contractor gave her an estimate that she agreed to. 

I work at my brothers business as a independent contractor ,  he has an accountant for this business is necessary for him to to this job or i can do it myself.

No big deal, I worked with insurance and contractors to get the repairs done.

Do you have inhouse construction department to reno units, or are you hiring outside contractors? 

If you’re familiar with the area or have tips for evaluating properties, working with brokers, or finding good contractors, I’d love to connect and learn from your experiences.Looking forward to being part of this community and sharing my journey!

If you’re set on a duplex with minimal rehab, an investor focused agent should have a strong network of contractors who can give you quick quotes, so you don’t wind up with any pricey surprises.
