One misstep can throw off everything and result in a lot of tax consequences.

Love them, discipline them, put expectations on them, and follow through when consequences are necessary. 

Funny thing is that both Brad Doran and Alan Kirkham mentioned to me over the phone how they both knew that our CPA had a reputation for being disliked and having problems with multiple clients, but yet that CPA was still working with WealthAbility and was still being paired with clients!

IMO, the problem is not subject to per se; the problem is that there are now hordes of inexperienced, undercapitalized wanna be investors trying to buy homes “subject to “ with no idea or thought as to the consequences of a default.

If you need recommendations for reputable local lenders in the Indy area, feel free to DM me. 

School ratings are important because they affect demand and rental revenue for single-family homes in addition to other criteria like community amenities and proximity to reputable schools.

These are fears you have to live with in REI, and choices which have consequences that you have to make.

It seems the people getting loans with lower down payments etc. are ppl with experience and a reputation or relationship with these lenders?  

I would meet with 3 reputable contractors off of google

.: •Curbio develops a strong reputation for quality and efficiency•Homeowners are attracted to Curbio’s ability to get things done efficiently, reliably and cost-effectively (no nightmare renos that go on forever)•Curbio continues to enlist realtors as strategic sales partners, by devising a referral commission program for them, to mitigate channel conflict•Curbio maintains sufficient decision-making control (e.g. project types; material & appliance options)•Homeowners are given sufficient preference choices within strict guidelines (e.g. color palettes; good-better-best options materials)But I suspect one of these two growth scenarios for Curbio might happen beforehand:•Expand current offerings to owners of rental properties•License technical infrastructure and processes to qualified contractors
