down payment contractors before job started?
So it is a busy season... contractors often don't return calls. you book appointments with them and they never show up , or show up gives a bid and then say they actually booked...
I have two properties in Kansas City right now that needs exterior and interior paint job.
its about 4000-4500 budget for each
I purchase all paint
finally two contractors bid and ready to do it but insist on getting 1000 to 2000 upfront for each property before they start .
I am not too excited paying someone I dont know those amounts.
can any of you who are experience in rehabs have a creative solution not to lose
those contractors but reduce the risk?
thanks
