Bad thing having an LLC early is that I’m sure you will make a lot of mistakes early on and that could start giving your company a bad reputation and you could potentially dig yourself a hole.

Anyone have some suggestions on reputable contractors in the columbia, sc market.

Hi everyone, Here's my situation. My wife and I both just got promotions and within the next 12-18 months we will be able to put aside approx $25K of "extra cash", should be able to do this on a going forward basis, ...

If you haven't done this kind of project before, I would suggest working with a reputable GC on this.

But just to make sure you cover all bases, seek out a highly reputable property manager that focuses on this part of town and see if the rents for the duplex idea could in fact be better than just covering the PITI.

I contacted every reputable contractor and handyman in town to get the door replaced as fast as possible and 2 weeks was the earliest I could get it done.

In the future I would like to find reputable local subs to do at lest some of the work but doing it myself let me keep the renovations  costs way down 

@Tony Castronovo well that wording would make me think you are entitled to some kind of refund.Some people are more worried about money than their reputation.  

As much as I want to make money I also want to build a positive reputation within my investment community here in Lansing Michigan.

Lastly, there are some very stable deals that reputable syndicators are advertising that suggest 8%+ returns are expected with little, to no, work for the investor.
