Quote from @Jose Mejia: Good afternoon,My name is Jose Mejia and I am looking to find a lender that is able to do a cash out refinance for a property that I invested in with my brother through a hard moneylender.

For example:Second, under their "About us" link, click on "Management" and you'll see a "Meet the Team" page where there's the following photo/info for this James LaPushner fellow you mentioned (which says he was born in New Zealand):However, if you do a reverse Google image search on this photo, you'll find that it's posted on several other sites, including this one: https://planetaseminarov.ru/people/konstantin-baksht.htmlHere's a photo of him from this page:This page is written in Russian, but if you translate it, it says his name is Konstantin Baksht, he lives in Moscow Russia, and he is the owner and CEO of the international consulting company Baksht Consulting Group. 

My endgame is to end up with $300k/yr in post-mortgage income in 20 years based on investments I make now followed by continued investments over the next 10-15 years own.

If the proper reports and documentation are not completed, you run the risk of failing an IRS audit and the cost segregation not being honored.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Most lending is based on cashflow, not the 2% rule (although still a good rule of thumb for some types of investments), might have the most help from the group if you provided some of those details here just so it'd be easier for us to help you best. 

Are there any caps on pass-through expenses?

Overall, your next actional step should be attending local REI meet-ups.

Next, and again my current experience is in a different industry but one that's a highly dependent on Google reviews and ratings, I've found that there's always a break-even point where "paying someone off" doesn't provide enough of a return on the payoff. 

I'm meeting with a couple agents i was referred to through my network and am wondering what critical questions I should be asking them to understand if they are the right partners for me in this market, especially considering I will be managing this investment from the other side of the country, and what info I should be prepared to provide to them.
