Can anyone recommend a reliable rehab contractor in the Atlanta market?

. :) Disclaimer: While I’m an attorney licensed to practice in PA, I’m not your attorney.

So, what I seem to understand the least(aside from working with contractors) is how do I utilize county tax records to find tax liens and probate leads?

If the apartments are contractor grade and your property is upgraded, then you can potentially charge more.

Cash-on-cash is your only metric here that may matter, and it's simply for comparing properties side-by-side and asking what the best use of your limited dollars is...Anyway,Your closing costs will be closer to 2% of the purchase price: $5,800 (unless the seller is covering this...if so, good job)Repair cost of $1,000 won't do anything...contractor fees will eat 50% of that...if you are renovating, you need to renovate to drive rents...$4k per unit will maybe do paint and carpet...a few fixtures. 

Also, I had a contractor who was going to do hand written plans for free if we used him.

Having a license and operating as a "professional" property management company does not mean the clients will have a professional or quality experience. 

The framing contractor?

Does anyone usually verify that the general contractor they are hiring are licensed and insured?

I am looking for a Brokerage to associate my license with once  it is finalized, but have not had any luck finding one that is willing to hang my license while I am living out of state.
