Investor-friendly contractors in North Bay (Santa Rosa)

Quote from @Vad P.:

Thanks @Matthew Paul, appreciate the input! Totally hear you, though I’m specifically looking for contractors who are experienced with the local buy-and-hold rental market here in North Bay.

Not just anyone doing remodels - I’m hoping to find folks familiar with cost-effective, rental-grade rehabs rather than full-scale homeowner renovations. Things like keeping scopes lean, knowing what passes for rent-ready, and understanding where the ROI really comes from.

Always open to learning from others' experiences too - thanks again!

Honestly a contractor doesnt care what you are going to do with the property .  My labor costs dont change , my truck payments remain the same , permits costs dont change , it doesnt matter if the property you bought is in the hood or its in the best neighborhood . The contractors cost of doing business  remain the same 

YOU keep the scope of work lean , YOU choose the quality of fixtures and  cabinets . Not the contractor .

The ROI comes from when you bought the property , if you paid too much , thats all on you . You make your money when you buy , and should know the costs of a rehab before you go under contract . 
 
Contractors are in the business to make money , plain and simple . 

Where new investors screw up is tripping over dollars to save pennies .  

There is no such thing as a contractor giving an "Investor discount "  , unless you are someone with 10 or more properties and you are spending money with them on a pretty regular basis . If you have 1 or 2 properties , you are just a normal customer
