My father is a certified contractor in NJ—he’s built one home, flipped four, and consistently handles upgrades and maintenance for me and his other clients.I’d appreciate any tips or stories from those who’ve turned equity into a profitable venture.

PTO days you can tackle this stuff with the contractor as the mentor and do..

Call the contractors closest to your building and see if they can help or know someone.

@Dani Murai, while I can't give you a name of anyone in your area (I am not from there), when you are interviewing contractors, here are a couple things I have seen:I avoid any contractor that has a draw schedule based on percentages, i.e. 1/3 up front, 1/3 at halfway completed and 1/3 at completion.

Where I’m Focusing: Ohio (Dayton and Cincinnati) — I already have trusted partners for renovation and construction.Investment Strategies: I’m interested in fix-and-flip and BRRRR.Open to Networking: Real estate agents, investors, contractors, and anyone passionate about real estate.My Goal: To learn from experienced investors, share ideas, and build a scalable real estate business.Looking forward to connecting and learning from this great community!
