Trouble finding contractors? San Antonio, TX

Anyone having trouble finding and having progress with their flips due to contractors taking too long or not getting back to you? I wanted our first RE investment in the next few months to be a flip but I’m hearing bad stories everywhere- being charged way too much, not enough labor , contractors taking forever due to shortages, etc…. Anybody experiencing something like that right now?

This is a tough job. Right now, there are not as many people working which makes it harder. Plus there are lots of people doing rehabs which makes it harder if you don't have a regular contractor. Now, material prices are elevated. Plumbers, electricians and everyone else wants to charge through the roof right now.

So is it harder to flip right now, well, YES.

BUT you can usually get a better price. It all works out.
