There is a business side and there is the residential side- 4 Apartment units.

I'd start out by looking for contractors that have working knowledge in the remodel business as they will know the scopes required to complete the project.

@Jeff HonnoldMaybe also open an account at a local bank or credit union near where your properties are located.

Like imo if your household income with that guy is like $5400, you have no business being there (literally my other was shot at multiple times).

Start attending local meetups to learn more about your market.

I will not be conducting any business in MA just collecting checks as I will have a property manager managing the property in NY.

I am from Florida but love BP and it has been very beneficial to my business.  

Ehhh my own fault.I'm deep on regional banks.I believe they are the back bone of American small business and all seem very well positioned.After reviewing many P&L's and balance sheets, I see lot's of value but time will tell.I'll either be a hero or a zero with this high risk investment.Wishing you much success and keep the dream alive 

Jacksonville will only continue to grow..check in with @Joseph Chiofalo he's a excellent local lender excellent at educating first time investors.

personal would be fine, but I would get a business credit card.
