I am looking for a licensed contractor for plumbing, roofing, and electrical repair for a duplex in the Berlin NJ area.

I think to an investor, it is like getting excuses from a general contractor of why work can't be done or if they say, "You know, if you did this, it would be easier for me"... but in reality, there is another contractor who will do the same work, who doesn't need the investor to do this or that and for the same price.... 

Can anyone recommend a good landscape contractor in the area for planting/irrigation/hardscape construction?

On a Lease Option you don't own the property so you can't sell the property (as in do a Land Contract, or Wrap, etc to your tenants). 

Hi all,I'm looking for a contractor to do a second-floor addition on a 60's ranch house.

Repair said property doing most of the work myself and manages contractors for work I can't or do not want to do.3.

Check for fraud in payments and distributions to non existent contractors.

I would get a good team in that area to help you with all of that- RE attorney, realtor, contractors etc. 

Like the others, you want to find good contractors in all the trades and GC it yourself.

preferably a contractor or an experienced investor to help you size up how much $$$ the "little" repairs may cost.then use the rental tool here or a spreadsheet and plug in the numbers to make sure it cashflows after deducting expenses, insurance, taxes, property management and capex.
