Just want to know what kind of lenders I should be targeting while acquiring, to have my ducks in a row to be able to have a smooth refinance process, and not get bottle-necked.

I think some of my hand muscles atrophied... :-)

I ended up doing most of the work myself - my muscles will never forget hammering the 8 feet of copper ground into the hard desert or shoveling gravel for the outdoor shower.Contractors I worked with:The guy I originally hired to polish the concrete floors ended up being a junkie.

Job prerequisites are neck tats (men and women) and a big 4 wheel drive truck.

@Jason Merchey - I may be alone willing to stick my neck out, but nothing particulatly new in that.

Because someone didn’t return calls and emails you should immediately foreclose, call a collection attorney, write off the deals, and bring in the muscle?

I see people all the time who are very smart went to college are up to their necks in debt and at a job they hate. 

Interestingly, I have a close friend who just rehabbed and rented out a triplex in your neck of the woods - it's in Spring Lake, I believe. 

Their work was better and because they no longer had me as the bottle neck it was done faster essentially allowing me to get a renter in months sooner than I would have otherwise offsetting the costs of hiring the contractors.
