When I asked a similar question for mn someone in Seattle suggested looking on thumbtack or task rabbit.
I don't know idea if it is a good idea for Goshen (i don't even know where that is!) But thought I would pass that suggestion on. YMMV.
i would suggest confirming insurance in addition to the usual reviews and such.

Quote from @Martin K.:
Hey guys, I have a few rental properties and own an appliance repair company. I had a personal profile on here a while back and this site was very helpful when I was looking to learn and I got great advice and resources from the forums.
I'd be happy to provide suggestions to landlords regarding general property maintenance, and specifically offer help for anyone that has had issues with their appliances. I would highly recommend people look into purchasing an aftermarket warranty or protection plan from a good company, especially if you're buying a property, or even a building that's older. It's probably best to buy it for the first year, as most issues with your appliances will popup in the first 2-3 months.
Apart from that, feel free to ask my any appliance repair or appliance install question you may have, I'm not looking to make money off of you and I'd be happy to provide advice on this forum thread and possibly link you to some youtube video's or other resources I've gathered over the years.
Thank you!
i hear to avoid LG and Samsung appliances due to likelihood of break down and cost of repair. What do you think?

Agree with the others. If first rehab and out of state and no trusted team or at least boots on the ground, this is going to be extremely risky and tough to make work.
if you go through with the deal anyway, best of luck and suggest you also plan to travel there (maybe multiple times) to scope and then check on the work . Preferably before the last big checks are cut to whichever contractors.
@Brian Versetti Thank you!

Sorry to hear about this situation.
did you mean Nov 30? If you are writing this up with the tenants be sure to use the correct date.
I heard Geico is closing all offices in CA but will still sell policies online. In case that's helpful.
Thanks for doing this!
what are the most common errors customers make working with GC?

@Ron Singh Sorry I don't have any specific suggestions - just wanted to make sure you were aware of the potential rent control issues.

@Clifford Sargento The CA state-wide rent control doesn't currently apply to all buildings. You would want to check to confirm if it is, and if not you would be able to raise rents more than the cap. Also, some cities has its own rent control laws, so depending on where the property is, a more restrictive rent control may apply.
Here's a story I found online that may be useful https://bungalow.com/articles/.... I am not familiar with this so can't vouch for its accuracy.
