I’ve done a couple rehab projects, going onto a third one. So far it’s been good except I am not satisfied with the contractors.
My fundamental question is this. Do you(more experienced investors) usually just let one general contractor handle all the jobs or do you go with different contractors(do your own scheduling, project management, etc.)
Both of my rehabs, I have let a general contractor handle all the jobs, they in turn sub contract. My problem with this is they take too long, and at the end they add more costs to what’s on the initial estimate. Is it better just to do it yourself, schedule for roofer, for fence guy, for carpeter, etc. This way you cut cost and you control the schedule.
I know I should have added time clause to initial contract so job is done on time. Also I guess I should just get a better initial estimate. But still the question is, do you let one contractor do it all or do you manage different contractors to do it? Thanks in advance.
PS: Anyone can recommend, good roofer, carpeter, contractor, plumber, cleaning, hauling, etc. in Austin.
