Where in the world do I find some experienced people to do this that aren’t charging retail/expensive rates? Used to be you could go to Home Depot and find day laborers there, but dont think they allow that anymore.
With home building in demand, and a friend told me that since Covid, finding laborers here in the mountain west has been hard.
Also tried calling a few local churches, asking manager who lives there, asking referrals from other contractors, but nothing so far.
Note, I dont live near the park, so although I could go out and scout for people working on other houses, its a shot in the dark.
Call local real estate agents and brokers to see who they use - I’ve found that very helpful.
Some areas are just damned with finding contractors or any help at all.
If you find during due diligence that you can’t find anyone - may be worth reconsidering the deal, because you may not be able to find anyone to do the work.
We found the best solution was to hire individuals with strengths in certain areas and put together a crew along with some outside vendors for major plumbing or electrical. We managed to get upwards of 10 rehabs completed along with some other major projects done in a year. Although you need a project manager to oversee the work or a knowledgeable manager/maintenance.
