We compiled a partnership agreement setting forth, among other things, that I would acquire the properties in my name and he would manage the rehab.

The motivation to compile so much intricate information that is held in a mostly emotional state and convert those feelings into words articulated seems difficult coupled with the feelings of vulnerability of putting yourself “out there.”

  $100 may not cover the compilation of these expenses. 

There are tons of errors on automated reports due to how many errors are in the databases where the data is pulled from.The fact you're running a background report will already separate you from many landlords doing their due diligence but if you want to find a good partner go with a service that has a turnaround time because reports are being manually compiled. 

I have 4 months to locate and choose a real estate manager for my single family home and have compiled a list of questions and criteria of what I am looking for from a management company.

@Pavel Ushakov Thanks so much for the advice, I will definitely begin to compile the list.

The law does not compel a public entity such as DMWW to create or compile such information, but only to provide an existing public record if it already exists.Even if such a list were available, Section 388.9A of Iowa Code states in part, “…public records of a city utility or combined utility system, or a city enterprise or combined city enterprise as defined in section 384.80, which shall not be examined or copied as of right, include private customer information.

If you're looking to invest in a war zone and want to minimize risk, compile your list of war zones and then start asking around so you can rank the desirability of each amongst each other.

But I would suggest compiling a list and calling appraisers.

You don't even have to refi if you'd just like to continue to pay down with the HELOC- I've got some self employed clients that prefer not to deal with compiling their docs & sending them to lenders each time.I've got a connect here in Sac that will gladly do commercial financing on 1-4 units in addition to 5+ as well, and they're actually a bit cheaper and lower money down than conventional lenders.
