Difficulty Finding General Contractors

I have a perfect property for BRRRR or fix&flip east of Dallas. It will need some structural/electrical/plumbing work that is beyond my abilities. I'm having a difficult time finding contractors. Any suggestions?

    Just throwing out some ideas...Lurk or network on contractor forums. Ask Pro desk at Home Depot for referrals (emphasizing which contractors pay their Bill's on time) Do the same with material wholesalers/distributors. REI meetups for referrals. Keep an eye out for local construction and meet people. Befriend some tradesman for referrals.

    Oh and know your states Contractor license laws to protect yourself. I hope all goes well for you
