How else can I verify past performance? 

The aforementioned Trainers used me because we actually performed.

It’s worth shopping around and asking different lenders about their specific jumbo loan programs.Recommendations:Shop around and contact specialty mortgage brokers or credit unions in your area that might have more lenient jumbo loan programs.Ensure you have at least 12 months of reserves ready in case the lender requires it.

If you own multiple rental properties in the same LLC and, god forbid, something goes wrong with one or a few, the rest of the performing properties are put at risk since they are also owned by the same LLC.

again, not shopping on Zillow - but actually walking properties. 

I hope that makes sense.That said, you can do research into the company and see if they have a good rep, etc; however, if they don't perform you are out the money.You should really only pay the lender if the deal closes.

I do have stocks that I could liquidate to throw at the principle but they have been performing great lately and I’d rather use those funds down the road as another down payment on a future property.Any advice appreciated Christian

So I am thinking my next move since I don't like how well the mail performed,  is to try SEO.

Are you performing well with delivery?

Furthermore, in our lease we outline that if the tenant fails to perform their maintenance obligations than we may complete their obligations on their behalf and at their expense.
