I am assuming most investors hire GCs, but I wasn't sure so I wanted to ask.

Albert,Instead of figuring out what brokerage to go to, go find the top agents in your area and reach out to them (call, email, send mail, etc.) and tell them you're newly licensed and would like an assistant position.Or, check Craigslist.org on the real estate job section to see who's hiring. 

You are hiring a staff to work for you and your success depends on them.  

I am planning to hire a contractor for major areas of repair using the 203K loan.

Collin, Travis,I've been considering hiring a PM firm form my 8 doors in Lakewood.  

HEATING AIR: Boiler in basement that services all units, making heat included in rent. 

My career is directly related to construction, but they'll require me to hire a GC because its my first personal deal.My FICO is 691, plenty good to qualify, but because its my first deal, they require a score over 700 to get the 70% LTVThe deal has strong potential profit and we have the cash to do 60% LTV, but I dont want to use it all.This late in the process, what are my options to reverse course with the lender without killing the deal?

So he would pay us to hire the contractors, oversee the renovation, and then find a good property manager for him.

You can smell the air, make connections (thoughts and people), get additional ideas, and discover more neighborhoods.

The landlord has hired 2 different carpet cleaning companies and still no luck.
