What's the best way to seek out good contractors

Although a pain, search for your desired counties' millage tables which should detail each town's exact millage rate.

@Jasmine Russell That’s a tricky one lol the real answer is it depends(annoying I know)… When I first got started I had 0 experience but had done a ton of research, I still lost 100k on my first deal (lol) but I used that painful lesson on my pitches to tell future partners what I learned and didn’t give upit was also a raw land permitting play and I payed back the investor every penny I owed which helped my brand- Now, for those that know me I don’t need to go over my portfolio, what I’ve done etc because my reputation precedes me however, when I’m in a scramble and need funding for a deal and advertising it to the world and talking to strangers I’m absolutely going over my track record so they feel comfortable that I know what I’m doing and if I don’t specialize in a particular niche I get someone on my team and involved in the deal who’s and expert there and have them on the calls or at the very least their website or somethingI definitely am a fan of fake it till you make it but if you’re the one putting capital into a deal maker, check, double check and triple check everything they tell you and do your own DD

I’d love to follow this thread as well as that’s my biggest pain point 

I feel your pain, I started and stopped several times before making any progress.

Meeting face to face can help, try to find their pain point for wanting to sell in the first place, then get an idea for why they would / wouldn't sell the others.

, "what is your biggest pain point right now?"

You know the saying, no pain no gain!

I do not know of a great turnkey company or partner in the region at the moment, so I have come here seeking one or the other!

@John Kaspar  Yes,  I feel your pain.
