i can't speak to what their overall customer service has been because we only know what's in your post. 

Hourly consultation is preferred, and the ability to eventually draw up the docs.

Felicia,All good questions when I discuss options with my customers I typically look for highest rate with the most equity.

@Pradeep RoyI'd prefer LVP, but that certainly wouldn't be an issue for me if my overall numbers/returns on the deal met my criteria.

It’d be great to know a little more about your market preferences and non-negotiables, since Alabama’s pretty diverse in terms of what it can offer.For example, the Huntsville area is a much higher-growth market than Birmingham, and the median home in each area is priced accordingly to reflect that difference.Even individual markets can vary widely by zip code—properties in a Birmingham suburb like Forestdale are going to fetch dramatically different rents than homes in a neighborhood like Mountain Brook or Vestavia Hills.In any case, let us know what your buying criteria look like, and we can give more pointed recommendations.

I personally like to have a mix of STR and LTR so that my portfolio is well diversified but my preference is LTR as I tend to focus more on appreciation than cash flow.

Tenants in Common (TIC): If forming an entity isn’t preferred, you can hold the properties as Tenants in Common (TIC), where each of you has a defined percentage of ownership on the title.

All of my customers in NJ, NY, CT, CA, WA and other states are all buying in those states as well as a few others.The price to cash flow ratio is going to be better in those states as well as having a higher inventory of both single family and multifamily rental homes.

You are required however to have a license like myself if you are offing a service to customers.

Now that I'm a more experienced designer in real estate, I would love to customize my kitchen more with different materials, unique tile, and more unique pulls/knobs but having a large, clean kitchen was extremely appealing to me as a first-time buyer 4 years ago.
