I can refer you to a great hard money lender for flips.

A good mentor should also offer references of people you can talk to about them and their experience.

We will choose our general contractor based upon reputation, references from my own commercial construction contacts (I have held a LA State - Building Construction license since 2001), their solvency, then finally their proposed bid.

I had the realtor I used to buy my house here in Washington refer me to someone in the same company as him over in Dayton, Ohio.

For future reference you can buy a home and use a renovation loan before or after you close.

For the regulars on this site its kind of a running joke.I wonder if that is what the OP is referring to.On the flip side that is what alerts are for.. so if someone mentions are your you can jump in.I guess fine line from spam to wanting to constribute. ??

No personal experience here but here's a helpful reference from someone who wrote a blog about different aspects of a 2 flat remodel in Chicago Scroll to "Two-flat journal 6: How to make an all-electric house" - - speaks a little about heat pumps and cost In the HVAC section.  

Not a landlord but here is my two cents: Do they have solid financials and references? 

Data refers to national parks (NP) with at least 50 annual available listings in their submarkets.
