I agree with @Brie Schmidt, I know @Joe Mueller personally, he is a stand up guy and did start his own investor friendly title company. In fact I am personally using him for closing this month for a property I am selling.

@Mark Ainley and @Michael Seeker I am just starting the reno on a historic home in Elgin as well with balloon framing that we are going to have to address. Its a full gut and down the the studs at the moment but the Historical District sent me paperwork on the house and it was built in 1875. I will say its different then the houses I normally do but I'm always up for a challenge. If either if you forward me the contacts you have as well I would appreciate it.

I've used Cozy.co a couple of times with the applicant paying the $39 fee but that is after I've met them, they've seen the property and want it and I have a good feeling about them and let them know it is there's as long as the background check and credit report come back good. Like @Jack P. mentioned, people are willing to pay the fee if they know they will get the place and that is the final step for approval.  Just my thoughts.

I didn't see @Chris Davis already took care of you on this, I had it up to reply and got stuck with something at work. Chris is a great guy and definitely has contacts and resources.

Hey @Mark AinleyI have a guy for you, he's not my primary contractor for the majority of the rehabs I do but he and his guys have done work for me and did a good job and were priced good.  PM me for the info if you'd like it.

Listen to @Zack Karp - he knows his stuff, in fact I just closed on the exact same thing,  a delayed financing mortgage,  last Friday with him. He and his staff (especially Alexandria) are top notch!

@Meghan McCallum, I'm just seeing this now, obviously too late but if I can get on your list for the next meeting I'd love to try and make it if I can.  Thanks - Mark
