Hi there, recently bought a couple properties that need some repairs. My problem has been finding good contractors that don't break the bank. I don't mind paying for quality work, but don't wanna go broke either.
So any suggestions on how to locate someone would be appreciated. I plan on buying more properties and have the funds to float the note a bit till homes are repaired and rented. Just know I'm losing money everyday till it's complete and I have tenants.

First of all - do not buy any more homes until you get these ones fixed up and cash flowing!
I have seen so many people buy buy buy and they haven't even completed their first project because they get so excited when the see a deal.
I would recommend using homeadvisor.com to find a contractor. If that doesn't work then contract your local agent or property management company and see if they have any recommendations for you.
