It seems to me like you should get your subs lined up pay them time and a half or something and plow the rehab at full speed.

Craigslist has also been a good source of quality leads for me. 

I use a grading system I developed on the percentages of a successful outcome working with certain types of buyers.Statistically a certain type will be the highest quality and probability followed by the next type and so on.

Looked in to tax liens awhile ago after reading the 16 percent solution but did not find anything quality to invest in as they were unbuildable lots and I found 16 percent was not factoring in lawyer fees which was at times more than the actual interest collected.

Cleveland, like many other midwestern markets has different asset classes and neighborhood qualities.

And you are limiting yourself the opportunity of savings and quality work by looking for someone who can do two trades in one company, if there are 30 demo contractors and 59 framing, you might only have 5 companies who can do both trades, and most probably they are a self-performing GC and have a GC license.

My partner and I wished we had the resources (mentors) to help us speed up the learning curve way back when...

It is free and in my opinion provides a much higher quality applicant than craigslist.

I'm on the hunt for quality contractors in my area that I could interview.Could anyone suggest contractors in the Jacksonville beaches area?

This coach recognized he needed a top quality contractor to complete the type of deals he wanted to do.
