Quote from @Theresa Harris: And what would you do for the living and dining room?

Greetings, BP Team.I am putting the puzzle pieces together in order to get ready for my first project, and ask that Houston-area investors reach out to me with the names of trusted contractors.Specifically, I am in need of a general contractor that:1. provides estimates of rehab works that come reasonably close to actuals (firm bids would be a plus),2. is able and willing to do cosmetic work as well as studs-deep rehabs,3. has a dependable crew(s) and is known to hit targeted completion dates,4. is knowledgeable of Houston / Harris County permitting and inspection requirements.As this will be the first of a long line of profitable projects, I really appreciate your referrals and any other recommendations that you could lend me.Thanks in advance!

I completely concur with what @Theresa Harris mentioned.

Quote from @Theresa Harris: Tell them when they pay the rent, you need a copy of the utilities bills to ensure they are being paid or as you said you pay and they add it to their rent. 

@Danielle Cage your realtor will be able to give you a lease from the local MLS that will be ideal for Kane County.

Quote from @Theresa Harris: Quote from @AJ Exner:Just had a pretty good one of these the other day.

@Theresa Harris Oh do the sort of live in flip? 

@Joseph Harr, I would get an actual property identified and then call the city for info......While you have them, ask for general Permit History as well, and if there are any liens or penalties pending.

@Theresa Harris That seems to be popular advice for sure.
