Once you set up a reliable, trustworthy team, I think you will still need to do due diligence on the property itself and you will have to participate in closing the property.

At very least, you should provide a link to your LinkedIn profile here on your BiggerPockets page, along with a phone number, email address, favorite carrier pigeon name, and any other reliable method to reach you.You never know just when money will come knocking, but it rarely knocks twice...

I’m looking for a reliable trustworthy handyman at a reasonable price to do misc things on a duplex in Tosa.Thanks!

I have a reliable contractor if you need one there! 

If doing hiring contractors, what's a reliable way to make sure you get someone competent?

Be sure to either get their parent as a reliable cosigner on the lease, good luck to you in your investment portfolio.

The biggest issue I faced was finding reliable contractors in an extremely hot market.

I'm also willing to sit out 3-4 months worth of vacancy if thats how long it takes to find a reliable trustworthy tenant each time.I would like to be a hands off type of investor and leave everything to the expert resident to handle but the only absolute gripe and condition I ask for is that I would like to take part in the whole tenant selection process (reviewing their credit score/background check/paystub history/etc...) each time and have the final say whether the tenant is a go or not. 

Hi Real Estate Investors - I own a property that needs some repairs in preparation for the next tenant including:Landscaping - kill weeds and plant new lawnChange Windows & ScreensInstall BaseboardsChange Cracked MirrorChange Faucets and handlesCan you please recommend someone reasonably priced and reliable that can help me with these small projects?

For these reasons, I think it's most reliable to look at the trends of rent prices and vacancies over time.
