If you are out of state, who connected you to the contractor and what references did they have?

Finding an agent, finding contractors, overseeing repairs, finding a property manager, finding tenants, etc.

He enjoys the cash flow, has a good tenant screening process, and is OK with the tenant headaches that are going to occur.I would put it higher on the reward side of the profile, but it also is a higher amount of work and harder to scale endeavor.

We enjoy that, but like any business know your customer base. 5.

I hire a contractor to jet the line. 

And if they are a hobbyist/part-time builder, then they should engage the proper professionals, i.e. a title officer, civil engineer, architect, contractor et al to assist in reviewing the project's feasibility.

Handyman / contractor - This is the hardest team member to find.

I'm fairly handy and have good contractor connections.

It's amazing to see old properties get renovated into something beautiful again - It's one of my favorite things about being a Chicago general contractor!

I really enjoyed your BP episode Felipe, really got me pumped!
