Houston: Any great FHA 203k contractors? Consultants?

[Tim Shin]

Hi All,

My wife and I are getting ready to house-hack like @Brandon Turner in the Houston, TX area!!

We are trying to get bids as one poster recommended before getting any houses under contract from FHA 203k loan approved contractors who can give me bids on renovating duplexes, triplexes for maximum income without over-renovating. Also, we are considering turning a SFH into a triplex or a duplex with garage apartment. Particularly interested in 3rd Ward!

Looking for one whooooo

1. 1. provides estimates of rehab works that come reasonably close to actuals (firm bids would be a plus),
2. 2. is able and willing to do cosmetic work as well as studs-deep rehabs,
3. 3. has a dependable crew(s) and is known to hit targeted completion dates,
4. 4. is knowledgeable of Houston / Harris County permitting and inspection requirements particularly in regard to MFH.

Any help or recommendations for contractors and FHA consultants will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Tim
