I do have great suppliers and specialized sub contractors to recommend as well.

I know an extremely reputable HML that has a rehab/rental program for only 3% down. 

There are numerous articles on the internet that talk about this perceived issues and reputable ones disprove any problems.

You probably already know this but it might be worth the time to set up an account with your local building materials supplier (Not lowes or HD) those folks always have their ear to the ground and can often recommenced better options. 

I only have experience on the syndication side of things but the reputation of a operator is what allows us to scale.Websites like BP bring a level of transparency to the real estate investing marketplace that will only improve in the coming years. 

No thanks, I like my license, my freedom, and my reputation. 

@Spender Hoyt -  You must be working with a single branch mom and pop bank because no reputable bank in the country would work directly with you.

That was my first thought when I posted the website... but libel, as I understand it is, "a published false statement that is damaging to a person’s reputation; a written defamation."

If there is an operation always available, they are either big enough to charge retail, or small and not busy (which may say something about their ability or reputation).As Ned stated, local experienced investor colleagues will often have experience with the best vendors of each type to work with.

I guess I'm so inexperienced when it comes to insurance I foolishly didnt look elsewhere and just signed up with Foremost because they sounded reputable.
