Does anyone in the Memphis area have any good recommendations for a good residential contractors?

This guy set up a great system that enabled him to landlord his own properties. if you are already sending over your contractors to do the work, running the PM side of things might not be so bad.

Likewise, it also seems appropriate to ask you if you did anything to help besides immediately call a contractor. 

How do I identify a contractor as a solid guy without knowing anything about it?

You may also hire licensed contractors and sub contractors as the owner of the business/property.

I'm a licensed contractor and am slowly learning the business side of things. 

I am meeting with a few more contractors this weekend, but wanted to see if I can get some thoughts here first.A few facts:-Assume all permits and drawings are approved by the city.

I'm completely open to the idea of having a location in an "up and coming" neighborhood, but at the same time want to be in an area that I'll enjoy living in on the weekends that's fairly walkable and will be able to commute to work (west suburbs) fairly easily.I've met many people whom have stated multi-units were the way to their success.

Does anyone have recommendations for remodeling contractors that they have used?

I would appreciate it if someone can recommend a good electrician, HVAC & dry wall contractors.
