I am purchasing a small duplex that needs some work. This is a remote location for me. Any trustworthy contractors willing to give advice and take on a small project?

@Julie Cooper Hey Julie! I just came across your thread. Did you end up finding a contractor and getting your work done?

@Dylan Thomas Thanks for checking on me. Yes, I found a contractor! We finished that one and are almost finished with our second one. Just out of curiosity, do you happen to have any contacts for lenders for small mortgages? We were lowballed on our appraisal and I’m struggling to find a lender.

@Julie Cooper How small? I just completed a deal with a buyer on a rental for 87,000 with 25% down, so the mortgage was only 65,250

That was with Bay Mortgage in Fairhope

Hi Julie! My husband and I live in the Mobile area and purchased our first flip here. The contractor we selected has been challenging! He was supposed to be done yesterday and just told us he needs 6 more weeks! We are looking at purchasing another home that needs some work. Sounds like you are having a better experience remotely! Any contractor referrals you can provide is appreciated!

Gee, 
Congrats on your first flip! I will keep my ear out for other contractors. Ours is already stretched thin. He is doing two for us and is also working on some bigger projects. 

Good luck! Maybe we will cross paths!

Thank you! I will check them out. Our loan will be closer to $50k.
