Labor Shortage in Houston

[Marshall Hooper]

I'm curious how other investors are seeing the labor shortage for contractors right now. I've heard of some being booked out 12 months and then I've spoken with some (with good quality reputations) who can start the next week. 

I'm seeing a lot of great deals come across my inbox, but I'm finding it tough to pull the trigger due to 1. ARV's are based on pre-flood sales and 2. the risk of not being able to get contractors into the home immediately.

Would love to hear some feedback from those who have purchased some rehab's post-Harvey.
