Do you have the People Management Skills and "Moxie" to deal with contractors that don't show up when they say they will or don't complete their portion of the job on time and budget.  5.

A little more about myself - I've been in San Diego since 2011, graduated from UC San Diego, and now work for a large commercial General Contractor.

Hi,I'm looking for recommendation for General contractor/ Zoning attorney/architect in Somerville MA.Thank you

Having recently transitioned to Las Vegas, I am in need of sourcing reliable and quality contractors for my real estate investments - both for flips and holds.

Owner said it has updated electric and copper plumbing newer forced air furnaces and c/a conditioners and some more updates. 2 of the 6 units are vacant and 3 units are being rented at $900.00/month with one unit being used to house the property manager.

If you have someone ready to sell, get a couple of general contractors in there and estimate for you. 

I do recommend to use inspection, especially since I am abroad investor.In addition, the inspection report help me to make sure the contractor quote covered all major issues, and I also use the inspector to visit during the rehab to make sure the contractor finished each construction stage.Investing ~$250 in inspection in compare to the money you invest in buying and rehabbing is not major and reduce your risk.Good luck.

The manager would know if the property is rent ready and safe, or if it would pass the inspection for a rental permit, they would be able to recommend contractors and oversee the work needed.

Like the PM portion, it helps me learn what to expect from contractors so I know I'm not getting ripped off.

Get a few estimates from different contractors.
