Need Help with Contractor Issues

[Caleb Smith]

Since starting in real estate investing, I have found working with contractors to be one of the toughest parts.

I know that by having the right general contractor, it can make everything run more smoothly. Obviously, I have to still manage the contractor and their work, but I feel like having a good general contractor to manage subcontractors is very beneficial to have.

So I was mainly looking for tips for finding the right contractor and creating that business relationship.

Oh, and getting contractor references from other people (investors, agents, architects, friends) that you trust goes a long way. I've done 2 rehab projects and got my first contractor from my agent, and the 2nd from my architect, and they were both great.
