Fingers crossed.  

Not to dissuade you, there's a chance you meet a good one.The only way we will ever trust a contractor is:a) We've done business and I know they can perform (Common)b) Turnkey rentals in other markets from reputable wholesalers with their own trusted contractors (I went this route when starting)c) They have skin in the game (Rare)d) You or a trusted project manager babysits them like a hawk, with a finger on the fire button (Don't ask how I know)Every other case will result in frustration.

Your fingers will be sore and you'll want to rest.
