Hi Kwanza,Bay Tek (650-204-1512) would be a great starting point, but I’d also recommend reaching out to Adler Builders (650-398-9030) and Mission Home Remodeling (415-855-7269) for comparable bids.In San Francisco, you’ll need a licensed General Contractor (GC) to pull the necessary permits.

I'd recommend reading these articles on BP for answers to all your questions!

Investing in Wisconsin and Illinois is a great move—both states offer solid opportunities for multifamily and single-family rentals.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors or agents, I’d recommend joining local real estate meetups or REIA groups in the areas you’re targeting.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a property manager or insurance broker?

I would recommend fixing it and then determining whether or not to sell based on cash flow and profit after the sale.

If not, I do not recommend sheriff sales as a first attempt.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
