Where would somebody find such a person that even gave a care???? 

PreREO I believe was run by the same person who owns AHP (American Home Preservation) - which has a lot of chatter on BP that you can search. 

Assuming that they aren't simply lucky in market timing, excessive in leverage, or excessively risky, why do you think that some companies and leaders ARE able to duplicate the ROI driving expertise and/or improve personal-business productivity in a way that allows scalability?

Unrelated persons ordinances are common. 

I have to usually explain that just because the owner made xyz does not the next person will or even care.

please send me a case example I'd love to read. that's one appraisal. the knowledge I have as a licensed general contractor working with investors from 5 cities at a time all over the country buidling 3 different floorplans I would say trumps one ADU you read about online This is from my own personal ADU that I recently built and recently appraised earlier this year. 

IF it was not on an auction site none of the information would be known unless you do your own research. they could say its a 3bed 2 bath home and you go buy and its burned down (seen that before). 100% is on the person bidding at auction.

I use a schedule E and do not have an LLC or business name, so can I purchase the vehicle under my personal name and take section 179?

I haven’t personally had a bad experience yet, but I know it’s definitely something that can happen in private money lending.

My expertise is deal analysis, buy and hole strategy (creative financing) and personal finance.
