Dealing With Contractors
At some point as a landlord you typically have to bring in a contractor. sometimes it’s because the project is beyond your skill set, sometimes you don’t have the time and often because it’s easier.
This is where your learning curve as a landlord needs to accelerate quickly. You see, there are tons of great contractors out there that can do an excellent job, but there are also many more that can leave you disappointed.
I can’t help you specifically pick which one is which, but I can give you some guidelines about what you can expect.
These expectations fall into three categories we call Good, Fast And Cheap, I explain more in the video so go take a look and let me know your thoughts and experiences!
Did you watch the video, have you run into this in your landlord business too?
I know I’m not alone as many landlords I chat with have similar stories. So if you haven’t experienced it yet, just give it time.
As an additional note when dealing with contractors, always make sure the contractors you use are licensed, insured and have some references. Then, much like checking out your tenants before you let them in, do your diligence on your contractors to make sure everything is valid.
