Quote from @Alexandra Feig: Hi all,About to close on a property in Columbus and seeking some contractor recommendations!   

I would say you need to find the contractors first. 

Since you're not performing the work, ensure the contractor has adequate coverage.

If anyone on here would like to finish their project, I am a contractor working over there.

I got a deal on labor as I know the contractor personally and helped out a bit with the project.

Anyone have a good contractor recommendation in the area?

I'm a licensed contractor in NYC and I have a good friend who's family owns a property here in Crown Heights Brooklyn that’s basically all paid off and taxes are up to date.

From my experience as an investor, I have first hand knowledge in developing scope of work, project management, contractor relations, and property management.As an investor, I am looking to continue to scale my portfolio in both multifamily and single family.

It's free to attend and will put you in the room with wholesalers, contractors, lenders, fellow investors, and property managers.If you decide to go, let me know and I'll introduce you around.

Getting a construction loan without formal building experience is possible, but lenders often require a licensed builder or contractor to oversee the project.
