Nice job on the first investment property!

Do you have any recommendations for reliable contractors that I should have price the job?

Personally, it always make me feel more credible as a professional to be able to refer people to someone who always does a great job, but I wouldn't blink at stopping if I've heard they are disappointing people -- I feel like that reflects on my own good judgment.

A new job.

Maybe you do a really good job with the first 10 houses and then some investor offers you enough cash to skip ahead several years on your chart.

Most of the work was done after I finished my work at my W2 job and on weekends. 

@Andrew KwiatkowskiI've thought about Fairmont and Clarksburg/Bridgeport, however as long as I have a full time job I'm not interested in looking that far away.  20 mins to Fairmont and 45 mins to C-burg/B-port doesn't sound that far away, but the inconvenience factor has steered me away.If I ever do this full time, I would absolutely look in that direction. 

Here is a blog where I wrote about a recent 42 unit we bought and did creative things to add value. https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/bought-multi-million-dollar-apartment-complex-age-26/Just a few ways to produce ancillary income:- Laundry Coin laundryDetergent/laundry essentials in a vending machine in the common area laundry rooms.Rent individual W/D to each unit-Parking Garage parkingCovered parkingprime spot parkingJust plain old charge for parking-Renovations Interior units upgradesCommon area renovationExterior upgrades for curb appeal-Vending machines In common areas such as exercise room, pool house, laundry or leasing office-Trash pick up service In high-end buildings they have a service where you can set trash outside your door and for a fee maintenance will go around each night and collect it so the resident doesn't have to carry it to the dumpster.

See if you kind find some common things you can relate to them about either through conversation or items seen in the house and use that to build rapport.
