I've purchased a row house and looking for a professional and experienced general contractor to handle my rehab.

I am afraid to give my only money saved and get ripped off, I am a contractor and have been doing flip homes for buyers for the last 5 years ,and I want to do my own flips ,but only have this ($3000) I'm thinking of giving them to do the deal ,and ($1000) set aside for earnest money. 

I'm branching out to Chattanooga for a potential project and I'm in need of recommendations for any reliable contractors.

Any air leakage in the ductwork should be addressed and would speak more with the contractor about options you have at this point.

Im defintley expecting to put a lot into the renovation although i have not decided on a contractor yet because i want it to be a solid home i bring him to.

Ended up getting a townhouse and going for a 203k loan, however we ran into all kinds of delays with the contractor and now the title work.

Payments from brokers to their agents are governed by the independent contractor agreement between the broker and the agent, not the listing agreement between the broker and the seller.

It's just a matter of knowing your preferences and working with dependable agent/PM/contractors to cover you. 

Secondly, have a General Contractor walk the property with you to give you an estimate.
