Finding a Trusted Out-of-State Agent, Contractor, etc.

Eric Lopez
Posted

Dear BP Community,

This is my first post on here! As many of you once were, I am a newbie when it comes to real estate investing. I am trying to figure out how I can find an out-of-state contractor or inspector that I can trust to view and walkthrough potential investment properties. The market I am trying to enter is halfway across the country from where I reside, so I need to ensure the individual I am using is trusted, will give me honest estimates, etc. Any ideas on where/how I can find these individuals would be greatly appreciated!

 Location ?  Your GC, OK so your next question, how do I get a GC LOL. We'll all you need to do is connect with those doing deals in that city. I live in FL and do all my biz  in Cleveland and starting to ramp up Jackson MS. 

Good luck
