Worst contractor experience I've ever had.I then hired a second remediator.

On the other hand, a detailed quote with a higher total may offer more transparency and reduce the risk of surprises as the project progresses.I specialize in consulting services for situations like this, where I help clients evaluate contractor quotes, ensure transparency, and navigate the renovation process with confidence.

The only way to know if your idea is worth doing from a wealth building standpoint is to do the math:  What is the cost to acquire?

@Jaycee Greene Yeah it is easy for one to get discouraged when buying this type of project but I must say they are decent when trying to start low and build capital, that way you dont have to deal with **** properties or mediocre neighborhoods again. 

I am located in Arizona and have been in manufacturing for 20+ years while my brother is an experienced contractor based in California. 

You definitely can't just buy a building low down, do no work to it and keep old rents and expect to profit. 

I also really like the idea of building a brand that you could sell.

Where I’m Focusing: Ohio (Dayton and Cincinnati) — I already have trusted partners for renovation and construction.Investment Strategies: I’m interested in fix-and-flip and BRRRR.Open to Networking: Real estate agents, investors, contractors, and anyone passionate about real estate.My Goal: To learn from experienced investors, share ideas, and build a scalable real estate business.Looking forward to connecting and learning from this great community! 

I want to know more about the area and build a team that can help me purchase and manage properties.   

Quote from @Hunter Hanlon Taylor: Hey, all, is anyone familiar with any good contractors near the Columbus, Ohio area who would be good for various updates I need done on my STR this winter?
