QUESTION: Can I get a general contractor to draw plans and submit drawings and pull a permit?

What would you do if there are small jobs like a burner on the oven isn’t working, screen door blew open during storm and needs to be fixed, a couple skate tiles need to be fixed, etc, etc. if it’s not major like electrical or plumbing, do you guys have a handyman that you know and trust?

I was told by realtor that I need to get gas, water and electric on for inspection.

Should we get two or three contractors to evaluate the property and hope they find the problem?

Tell the buyer you’ll walk with the contractor , he doesn’t need to spend he’s precious time to walk half broken houses with contractors 😉

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.I’m an apprentice electrician with the electrical union.

Electric space heaters can be rented locally but you may need 4 or 5 of them. 

Does anyone know of a qualified and reputable contractor who works in the LA, OC and Inland Empire area? 

Mark didn't just help me find investment opportunities but also connected me with contractors and other investors that he has worked with.

Make sure the tenants will be responsible for the utilities otherwise you're going to have to factor in getting the place sub-metered for electrical/water (if it isn't already), which can be costly.
