It may not affect a single deal, but if you get a reputation in your area as someone who isn't reasonable, is always trying to save another $1000, then you run the risk of other professionals calling your competitors instead of you when deals come up.Being easy to deal with and understanding that the other guys need to make a buck too goes a long way.

BP Folks:I have a property under contract in NE Philly (19124) and I'm looking for a home inspector. Any recommendations?Thanks.

@Lindsey ThomsponGet a few estimates from reputable contractors then decide based on the numbers.

I’m interested in companies that are reputable and have extensive experience with smaller to medium apartment complexes, say up to 50 units.

I don't interact with tenants personally and have a reputable property manager who handles all tenant relationships.

I'm not sure if that means there were none to be found, or they are not coming up in that company's search, either.This is NY's way of helping the "downtrodden" deadbeat tenants find housing in the future and avoid facing consequences of the reputations they forged with their own actions.

You don't want to get a reputation for only making lowball offers.

I really like Equity Trust and Quest IRA as providers of a SDIRA, but they both charge a fee based on the amount of money you have in the account - essentially penalizing you for growing it.Are there are any reputable SDIRA providers that charge per transaction, instead of by asset size?  

I plan on getting a written estimate from a reputable contractor that deals with fire damage.
