Bonus: Hiring a Contractor For Your Rental? What You NEED to Know

Hiring a contractor doesn’t have to be a guessing game. Most real estate rookies choose the first (or cheapest) contractor that comes their way, but this rarely leads to a home renovation gone right. Instead, you could be looking at tens of thousands in extra costs, poor-quality workmanship, timelines that stretch out months past your projections, and a rental property that almost any tenant will walk away from. So, how do you find the BEST contractors in your area? And what are some signs that a contractor will make your life easier? We’ve got all the answers in this episode.

Rachel Richards is back on the show to talk about her recent renovation done by Zosia Madden’s team over at Laurelless. While Rachel was thousands of miles away traveling, Zosia and her team turned Rachel’s newest property around, staying on budget, on time, and with as little stress as possible. After some tear-inducing past experiences with other, lower quality contractors, Rachel and Zosia go over EXACTLY what makes a contractor the right one, red flags to look out for, software to use, and lessons learned that EVERY investor should take to heart!
