Rehab Project Manager - Chicago

Hey BiggerPockets Community - I am an out of state investor, with a property under contract located in Chicago, IL that goes to closing on Nov 20. For the last few weeks, I have been flying to the property to meet contractors and get estimates for the rehab needed to BRRRR this property. I realized that I will need a rehab project manager to oversee contractors/renovations when I am not in town. Does anybody have any advice on how to find a project manager who will receive materials and hold the contractors to the rehab schedule in my absence. Primarily finding someone who will have my best interest during this process.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

I'd suggest getting a licensed General Contractor that will already have his own subs and be in charge of all the work getting done. If you're only doing one, or even a small few projects, that's going to be the easiest way. 

The search for a good one will still be hard, but easier than finding a PM since there's way more out there.
