These are very reliable buyers and they are experienced in renting and self-managing other properties, so it is all going very smoothly.  

That's why I'm intrigued by the reliable returns on notes, albeit lower.

.* Appraisers with lack of skill or motivation (due to their low fees received or charged) which deters them from doing the work required for an reliable valuation.* Residential properties (2-4 units) are mainly valued by sold comps and not with the income approach, since these properties are typically not purchased for their income potential exclusively.* adu/jadu's add contributory value to the property as a whole, which may or may not = the cost to build them.

Not looking for free advice, but reliable advice and an ongoing relationship as we travel this path. 

This forum is a good place for sharing both positive and negative associations.Finding new and reliable sources is always a difficult task.

This involves finding a reliable contractor, a property manager and a real estate agent who specializes in investment properties in the area.

Last night I heard about a friend who had their electric bill go from $100 per month to $800 per month because the landlord did a repair to two of them and cross wired them causing my friend’s to short and use 8X the amount of energy for the month.

I wanted to get your opinions: Does it seem reliable and thorough?

I agree that having comps from a realtor/agent with MLS access provides the most accurate and reliable data.I understand the importance of vetting potential partners for their capital, project management experience, and access to reliable contractors. 

All this worrying about if this guy has a license or not is a complete waste of time and energy.
