@Luis Maza Just like there are quality contractors out there and those that are not, the same applies to wholesalers.

I have gotten 90% financing for more than 1 first timer because of their credit and the quality of the project.You need to be very liquid using credit unions for the purchases of shell houses cause the rehab will be on you. 

(Even if it feels like overkill now, the plan is to do a "lite version" of the system and build out later).Anyway, My question (for the crew here) is really  more about actual workflow.... i have my tools chosen, but despite what they all promise (efficiency) I feel like I'll be bounching from "use this to acquire a tenant", "use this to vet / quality / sign a tenant", "use this to communicate with a tenant"... 

HUD is changing its inspection criteria from Housing Quality Standards (HQS) to National Standards of Inspections and Real Estate (NSPIRE).

3) If a flipper, what was the quality of their renovations?
