I am doing a light rehab on a house in Knoxville, TN, and I would REALLY appreciate a referral for a handyman / contractor and a roofer for roof repairs.

It is a great place to meet new friends and learn about various aspects of real estate and more.Check out BP Podcasts: https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcastWishing you the best!

We will replace the roof and paint the siding.

We replaced roof, some new windows, new A/C, flooring, quartz countertops, new appliances, basic bathroom remodel and gave the exterior a facelift.

I will be fully acting as the GP and managing all aspects of the BRRRR.

If a crew is currently working on the framing or roof, go and find out who is in charge and let him know you have some work coming and you will need to good contractor. 

I personally negotiated a new deck, roof, and some other extras.

We spent a little less than 2 months renovating the property: Brand new roof, Remodeled all of the bathrooms, Added a boat Pier, Repaved the driveway, Striped a basketball court, Painted the entire inter How did you finance this deal?

Lenders do not want there to be loose wires, no roof, boarded up or cracked windows, no kitchen or baths, missing flooring.
