List of lenders come in various flavors,  @Christian Garcia.

You need to ask about the hours, what you'll get paid, what a typical day will look like.You also need to find some subtle way to make sure you don't have to pay anything ... because that is definitely a scam.

:-)Okay, that wasn't very subtle...but hopefully you get the point.

Advertise your expertise and abilities in a positive light without the implications of the possible short commings of others.On the other side, you made a good presentation of things to watch for and some good points, it's just the flavor and spin that, to a more sophisticated seller, (and your peers) may put you in a bad light.

There's a number of us in SE MI doing a variety of flavors of investing in various areas.

I am a practicing architect, so I think I have at least the flavor of what I'm looking for in the MEP systems, even though I've never done residential work.I contacted my old landlord, who is a very active real estate investor and asked him if he knew any contractors or inspectors who would be willing to walk the property with me on a first viewing.

I really like your question, because it is somewhat subtle. 

I'm on another level entirely.I am pointing out subtle intricacies in the law which prevent people like you from getting results.

Make windows more subtle, to unify the look but not detract from the door.3. 

Tactics have changed a bit, it's a lot more subtle now than it was with the fake gurus of the past.
