Hi, I am a first time home buyer looking to buy a small building in NYC that will work as live/work space (my partner is an artist) and also have units that we can rent out to help pay the mortgage. We are semi-experienced builders and our dream is to find something below market that we can improve with sweat equity. I have found a likely candidate but would like to hire a GC to walk-through with me and give me a pro’s opinion about how much work this place would really need and a rough cost estimate before I submit my first bid. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good Brooklyn GC (maybe someone who is used to dealing with homeowners who like to do the work themselves)?
Thanks!
