Thanks Alexander Felice!

Can anyone recommend a good contractor in the Fayetteville, NC area? I know finding a good contractor can be one of the most difficult things to do, and I'm trying to avoid some of the issues or horror stories I've read about and seen. I just found a great deal on an investment property, but it needs some work obviously.  I was going to post in the Contractors section, but I'm kind of looking for a referral here (someone who was actually satisfied with the work done and would recommend to others). 

Thanks for all the awesome feedback! I will be incorporating a lot of the ideas recommended here. 

Thanks for the feed back Brian Schmelzlen. 

Thanks Andrew Kerr, good idea! 

I was just wondering if I was the only one that was having a hard time looking at a distressed property and actually visualizing the renovation or "make over" sort of speak. I think that maybe I just don't possess the designer gene or is this something that can be learned (I'm sure it can be learned).  I'm also sure there are books, blogs, or maybe youtube channels that can help. Do most investors hire other people for this (understand that may put a dent in your bottom line) or do they just take on partners who do possess the "gene", or is this just something that you learn through experience (trial and error). I'm just looking for any feedback, recommendations or best practices, thank you.  

Thank you for the feedback and recommendations!
