Derrick Gordon Daniel Caraway the best way to find a good GC is networking. Both of you have an uphill battle at the moment, Atlanta is booming right now. Most good GC’s are up to their eyeballs with work and any GC that isn’t very busy right would be cause for concern. I found that investors usually go through several GC’s before finding a good fit. As with most things in life, experience will give you the most knowledge..... good luck and happy hunting.
PS - you can find a property that has been rehabbed, look up who pulled the permits for that property, you would then have a contact for Construction work

@Derrick Gordon. My fiance and I are in the same boat. There have been a few posts on this specific subject, if you haven't searched through historical posts I would recommend that as there are a few leads. So far none of our leads have been fruitful. When we get a GC connection we will pass along the info!

Derrick and Daniel, my General Contractor company, Property Pro Services, LLC could provide you with investor repair, renovation and remodeling services. We work with individuals, local and regional investment groups and even some of the nationals. Our GC firm supports our investor clients we help acquire homes for to do renovations and make-ready repairs...we also do the repairs, turns and remodeling work for a management portfolio of 800+ client rental homes so we understand the investor's needs. If you like connect with me and I can have one of my project managers touch base with you and see if we could be a good fit for you both.

The thing is, any investor that does one property after another, keeps their contractor busy. If they give out his/her name, they'll get too busy with other investors and won't have time for that first contractor.
So, giving out the name of a great contractor (after having spent years kissing toads) is like cutting your own throat.

What would your solution be to finding a good GC? I believe that recommendations and word of mouth are fantastic methods of marketing and have rarely known of a GC supporting only a single investor.
