5 Tips for Choosing a Contractor for Your Real Estate Investing Team

Vic on Dec 8th 2008

The third tip is simple but important. Check the Crew.

3.    Check the Crew
Does the contractor have the people to do the work you need done? Is he using a licensed plumber that will provide your with a plumbing cert? Is his crew large enough to complete the work you need done? Does the contractor have multiple crews if there is an issue? I know an investor whose project was stopped because the contractor had family problems and didn’t have backup. The project took twice as long to complete.

Also, does the contractor have a company with other people that can keep you posted. There is not worse feeling than not being able to talk to your contractor and having no one else to call.

5 Tips for Choosing a Contractor for your Real Estate Investing Team

Vic on Dec 4th 2008

One of my favorite tips is this one. Not only should you do your homework but the contractor should do theirs and be prepared to demonstrate capability. Have they done the type of work you need done? Have they been on time and budget? All are important questions.

2.    Do Your Homework
Your contractor obviously should be licensed and insured. You should also get references from every contractor and when possible see his work. Does the contractor have testimonials from satisfied customers? Does the contractor have pictures and descriptions of previous work? These are just a few of the question you should ask any contractor

This is one of my favorites because a while ago, we decided to be overly transparent and post our work on the Internet. All of our videos are posted on this site and watch for more including testimonials from our clients.

Contractor Arguments – Bloopers that make you money Vic and Leon argue

Vic on Sep 2nd 2008

Bloopers that make you money. There is cursing so if you are offended pass on this one. Vic and Leon argue about how to fix this house and who will pay for upgrades. The important lesson is that someone needs to make decisions while the rehab is being done so arguements with contractors are unusual. Besides it is very very funny to watch these to fools :)
