Any referrals for contractors in South Chicago?

Unlike others, I say have a team in place from contractors, lenders, or bank for a refi, management company.

We have been working on trying to build a team of lenders, agents, PM's, and contractors, but it's still in the works.

I’m in NJ (landlord and sitting for real estate license test this week).

I'm a newly licensed salesperson and out of state investor with a full time job that is outside the real estate sphere. 

They have:- kept a ferret without a deposit or approval- just put a hole in the wall- painted all the bedrooms ridiculous colors- Havent oaid their trash bill in over 3 years- replaced all the ceiling fans and did the electrical themselves (without a license)And multiple other things.

I am looking for some advice on how to handle a difficult situation with a contractor.

Any repair we add 10 percent on to what our contractor charges because we get better pricing.

Any Contractors in Columbus who offer financing

Is there a reason why you wouldn't "inherit" most of the clients if you simply hung your license somewhere else when he retired, but got his blessing to market yourself as offering a similar service?
