Evolve does have vendor and professional service  referrals in the area of your home should you need it, but I found networking with other investors gave a better result. 

Rents are more fluent than home prices, but before we see rents come down, we will see move in specials and promotions go up.

I know meet GCs through trusted referrals or at trade shows.

The “process” is the same as opposed to how the marketing is different in each state depending on whether it is a judicial process (court filings with a judge) or non judicial ( Lender simply posting in a legal newspaper)Yes,a short sale can be done by a homeowner without a foreclosure date if they are being relocated by their Company more than 50 miles but in this group we are real estate investors and it is hard to target a “list” of those home owners who may have received a job promotion AND think their home is worth less than the total debt.

Fellow investors, I need a referral for DSCR lender in FL and GA.

Of course, track record and conservative vs. aggressive underwriting/promotion play a role in the reality of what you're hearing from any syndicator. 

Per other comments, I would not only ask for the last 3 client referrals, but I would also be asking contractor for general scope of works and their timelines.
