I am a general contractor that runs a company specializing in remodels in central Florida from Daytona Beach to Orlando and everywhere in between.

Contractors if you're doing any reno?

I am partnering with a General Contractor with strong connections to local subs. 

I love working with investors and have my own team of property managers, contractors and investors to pair with on potential deals.

I'm enjoying the ride.

In my personal opinion, I would not recommend a mgt company this early, as long as you have some handymen or contractors that can help you out along the way.

@Ali Boone Cheers - not sure of my budget just yet; I'm used to having done traditional lending through banks and don't have much experience cash-out refinancing yet, but currently reading up on all that stuff and exploring options.I'm actually from Charlotte originally so I would feel a little more comfortable investing in the city....I think for OOS I would prefer something more turnkey at first unless I was very confident that I had good contacts (contractor) "on the ground."

I visit and analyze the property, and estimate rehab costs (with experienced inspectors and contractors), add a buffer for unexpected repairs, and provide a financial model with an ROI comparison of a traditional rental vs. short-term rental.Any guidance/tips (positive comments only please) would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a licensed contractor, commercial realtor, and I'm an import broker.

They have a lot of local contractors they work with to get homes built.
