Any one know a trust worthy contractor in kansas city missouri?

Trust me you’ll always have more questions than answers it seems :)

If you know other investors in the area or property managers, you can always ask them for who they would use and if they have any referrals otherwise you'll have to just go through trial and error to find people you trust to do the work.Sounds like a bit of bad luck, did you do an inspection on the places before buying?

I completely trust that he would do a stellar job executing quickly, making listing agents confident in my offer, and doing his best for me.I also reached out to another lender, recommended by my agent who I met and believes he knows his stuff.

Don't give that up and take a backseat with anyone else who may be mailing them because their address showed up on a list. 

Have been using our trusted subcontractors for all repairs.  

You probably are best to find someone you know who trusts you to help you get started.  

It's essentially like transferring a property into a trust.

Partnerships are great when all of the potential problems that may arise are addressed early on.

Once you gain the trust of a more experienced investor, it will be much easier to get an opportunity to shadow them and get the hands on learning that you are looking for.
