Can anyone recommend an investor friendly real estate agent, contractor and roofer in El Paso?

You will meet many realtors, contractors etc.

I always enjoy meeting other investors and helping them in any way I can.

I look at the house with a contractor and it's going to need an easy $50-$60k to dress it up, fix foundation and asbestos issues, among other things and at best you might get $1,900 gross rent each month. 

I'm finishing up a rehab right now and my contractor has really dropped the ball from a timing perspective (lots of false promises and missed deadlines). 

Call every local contractor you can find and introduce yourself.

My husband and I don’t have any recommendations of contractors but would love to get together for lunch or coffee.

I've even supplied large thick (3 mil) contractor bags and moving boxes/tape.

I'm from there and my properties are there--so if you did need referrals for PMs or contractors or whatever, I have those--but other markets certainly do have higher returns now than Atlanta. 

This past experience really got me interested in real estate.I travel a lot for my current job, which I enjoy, but I hope to one day have the freedom to create my own schedule, wealth, and be able to have more time to spend with my family and friends.
