GC is going to be toughest, don't hire off of Facebook or online sources. Drive around neighborhoods where there is high flip activity and drop in on projects. Introduce yourself to the contractor and build rapport.

 Hey Kefah, I'm a local investor and agent here in the Columbus, Ohio market. I own quite a few investment properties and have done tons of renovations and managing contractors myself so I know it like the back of my hand! I have a preferred contractors sheet that I send over to my real estate clients. I'd love to send this over to you and answer any questions you may have about the Columbus Ohio market.
