Start coming to the REIA meet ups, they're great 👍 Kinley Puzey I can get you the dates if you'd like.

I would imagine it's much more difficult to find good contractors, keep things on schedule, etc.

I am very interested in meeting up and getting to know like-minded people in the area to share knowledge as well friendship.
