Oklahoma City & Metro Contractor Recommendation

William Keasling

Posted Jul 1 2019, 07:16

Hi all. I'm a new investor, and just completed my first flip. I learned a lot in this first flip, with the biggest take away being have the right people working for you....which I did not. The house was quoted to take 3 months, but took my contractor over 6 months to complete. Needless to say holding cost and overages ate my lunch. While the house wasn't a complete success it wasn't a failure either, because I won't lose money on the deal and have learned a lot. I won't let the experience detour or scare me out of REI. With that being said I am now looking for recommendations for a good renovation contractor in the OKC metro area. Also do you guys find it better to have a general contractor take care of most of the work, or do you have many contractors work on your properties (ie. dry wall, trim carpenter, painter). Just curious how other investors are using contractors. Thank you guys in advance.
