Where do you find a Fix & Flip contractor in a hot King County market?

Hate to commit to a short term lease..... turnover is a PITA....but if the $$ is worth it, I may consider it...PRORent is paid by insurance company, not individual....more reliabke I would hopeHigher rent and deposit....not sure how much yetCONGuaranteed turnover in 6 months or so..I'm in CA, so doing placement in Dec isn't a huge deal but not the best timeTurnover cost $$...so it may not pencil out as a big $$ gainScreening...... guess I still do the background, but the other criteria is really on the insurance CoSomeone that knows they are short term in the unit are less likely to take care of itInsurance companies can be a PITA to deal with.....

We are currently looking for high quality property management in Bakersfield, CA starting next month. 

I still put in 3-4 hours per month dealing with the rentals but I ca put them in from the beach, a cruise ship, or wherever. 

If the property is distress, or if you were able to increase rents significantly ("forced appreciation") - your cap at the end of year 1 ca definitely be more than 7%.Even a 7% is great, but depends on the market.

Many folks on these forums complain (rightly) about the sky high California prices BUT Cali also enjoys unmatched capital appreciation rates.

I've been thinking and looking into moving out of CA for the obvious reason of high cost of living.

I am looking to invest in Southern California and have access to around $200k of capital and want to get into properties that need a bit of work.

Can I buy and sell all over California or do I stay in a specific city or county.

That way I could focus exclusively on RE at that time when cash will be king!!!
