Hello, we are looking to find contractors we can use for all our current and future investment properties. These are the contractors we are looking for.
@Alex Franks Its funny you say that because we just had a horrible situation with a man who "owned his own business" but was technically a handyman. I only hired him because I had seen his work before and knew he did a great job but didn't realize he was very unprofessional. Found out he didn't even know how to send an invoice or from what he told me, where to get one. Lol. The whole situation was a learning experience. Saving money is sometimes just not worth the headache.

With you 100% I call it stepping over a dollar to save a nickel. I was at a local group Charlotte recently and they told me how then can get things done so cheap. Again in this business you get what you pay for.

@Nikki if I was trying to find contractors I would go to lowes or home depot at 7 am these are the guys who are up and at it early. Or I would drive the local areas I'm investing looking for yellow permit signs in the windows. These are the contractors I would talk too.

@Alex Franks Thanks. We do not live in the area. I have found many contractors through Thumbtack as well. I never really saw any permit signs in that area but will be on the lookout next time we are there.

@Nikki Grizzle I learned the hard way lic contractors or no one. Sure from time to time handy men or subs but on a whole the other way around. You will cost your self more money in the long run.
