I've used all these contractors in the past on remodels.If you are knowledgeable on construction then you can sub out the work yourself. 

I never thought to contact appraisers and inspector.

Anything from painting, construction, flooring, demolition, helping set up an open house, anything RE related, etc that you can do/learn is another step toward a successful future.  

I am the GM of our family construction company.  

.- Aiming for SFH in Richmond, VA and I have a starter spreadsheet of insurance agents, realtors, home inspectors, mortgage brokers, and contractors that work in the area.- Ingesting as many BP podcasts as I can!!!!

We're hoping to start construction soon.

Make sure you have plenty of cushion in your numbers because as a first time investor, your construction/rehab budget is likely going to be off, and on the low side.

In the December, I signed a contract for new construction of what would be my primary residence.
