So for that, I would recommend getting a referral from someone trusted, someone without an agenda and someone who is not getting paid to refer you to the sponsor.

I assume state laws dictate and for reference if necessary, this is in Pennsylvania. 

If you don't hire a PM refer to a attorney.

This is what can go wrong when you have beginners wholesaling who have no training in real estate, no experienced managing broker to go to for advice, no license, no E&O insurance, no knowledge of how to avoid scams, no regulatory body to answer to, no relationships with other quality people in the industry like title companies, lenders, contractors that they can refer to help people, etc. 

Maybe it might be different in your market, but at least here in CA, no real estate agent is going to refer  a client slow poke big bank unless it’s specialized bank offering a specific program that caters to the needs to the borrower.  

This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive.

First of all I put my acceptance criteria clearly in the ad: minimum credit score (enter X amount, 620 is what I use),income 2-3x rent, good rental history, references, no evictions, acceptance dependent upon background check and employment verification, pet policy, desired lease term, etc. so that people will hopefully read that and not come to the open house if they know they won’t qualify.

I was referred to the lender by numerous agents and and investors in the area.

As a property manager who has been around a lot of construction and hundreds or thousands of home inspections over the years, the buyer is generally pretty prepared for the home inspection.Home Inspectors go deeper into almost every area and are worth their money in the end, almost every time.Buyers often look at houses online, and many times, I go to the property for them to provide what I refer to as "The Rest of the Story."

When I refer to the MLS, I'm referring to the real estate agent generated list.
