Hiring Contractor: First time, need advice

[Michael Herr]

I have been buying g and holding SFH's for 5yrs, but have done almost everything myself. I have an appliance/HVAC repair guy, an electrician and a roofer.

I have been my own GC, plumber, electrician for smaller things, and service calls.

In order to scale and keep on doing rehabs/hold strategy, I need to let go control and let others help me.

Looking for general recommendations, advice and resources for hiring contractors.

I had two contractors look at a job 4 days ago, and neither has turned in a bid, even after trying to follow up 2days ago.

I know that investor's issues with contractors are sometimes the investor themselves. I think that might be the case here.

Thanks

Mike
