Hey everyone,I'm not a big blogger or poster mainly just lurk, but I wanted to share my story for anyone who is interested. I have been out of the real estate game for a while "claiming I was too busy" and found Bigge...

Here is what I can tell you:I will call a title company at 4:53 PM on a weekday, expect them to pick up the phone, and confirm within 2 minutes that they have a notary that can sign someone at 10 AM the next day.If they do not meet my expectations, that is a big fat negative mark in my book.When they do meet my expectations, as they typically do if it's a local branch with folks I've worked with before, it's a neutral mark in my book.Your market may be different, I don't know, but that should give you an idea for what someone in RE professionally expects from any decent title company. 

The above numbers are realistic for a fund that needs to buy consistently and can't wait to take only the fat pitches.

I researched each one and discovered this which made it worth bidding, if not this would have been a big fat negative. 

Remember, when it comes to tax strategies: pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

Look for projects with fat margins that allow you to screw up a lot.  

I cleaned it up, booted the fat slob with the illegal dog, got some good people in there, had two run-ins with the local meth heads that left one in handcuffs and made friends with all the beat cops.  

 $700 per month would be huge fat city living for me, as well as it would help me pull all the dents out of my credit in a short year.

Sorry, fat fingers!

Ideally this person would also be able to assist in managing the project itself" Sounds to me that what you are looking for is an active partner "contractor" that will do all the thinking and work wile you collect the big fat checks at the Caribbean sipping on fruity drinks.
