Ive done done two flops.  1st one, I hired the wrong contractor, myself.  2nd I hired the wrong contractor, wasn’t at the property enough, our contracts were terrible, bad communication, we gave way too much money upfront...you get the picture. I learned real fast why construction management is a lucrative profession.  Now I have another investment property that I’ll be holding, and my goal is to not work in it myself, despite my nature.  It’s kind of a personal test, to refine my management skills. I was hoping to get some best practices do’s and dont’s when it comes to hiring a contractor.  Micro details e.g. contractual language, interviewing techniques, really anything relevant is welcome too. Thanks!
