Flip Friendly Contractors Needed in Los Angeles County

[Eliza West]

Hi BP Community! I’m trying to get a go-to list of LA-based, investor-friendly contractors together for a potential flip I have in the Valley. Has anyone worked with any GCs in the area they recommend?

Feel like goes without saying but need to produce solid results and work within budget and schedule timelines.

Jonathan and Bruce - very appreciative for the advice, thank you both. I hear you on paying a premium for a good GC and having an iron-clad scope of work. The house is in pretty rough shape and would need a full demo and reno. Finding a couple contractors who are reliable and have experience with flips would be a great start. I'll check out some FB pages as suggested! Thanks again. 

Good luck! You'll find someone on FB. just make sure to vet them. 

1) Check their license status and history at https://www.cslb.ca.gov/. 

2) Verify their liability insurance coverage (and get listed as additional insured). 

3) Verify that they have Worker Comp. 

4) Don't release a progress payment until you get a unconditional lien release for each Sub-Contractor, you don't want to be sued/liened later.

Feel free to PM me if you need any help...
