I mean they can buy a very custom home from me for 750 to 850k  and sell their old 50 year old tired home for almost the same thing big difference you dont step over the homeless walking to starbucks.

Who walked the property for you?

Another piece is setting up group showings or walking properties.

This was my first home and first investment property, and they walked me through it and made it easy. 

My guys are walking them today.

Someone was just shot and killed last week walking down the street. 

Otherwise, I have experienced a number of DSCR lenders try and bait&switch at the closing table or right before getting to closing because they thing they have you in a choke hold...good on your for walking if that was the case.

From that I was able to find a great realtor and a duo general contracting team that has been very reliable- chatting with them almost daily and doing a video walk through once a week. 

If this is the case, you're going to be walking a very fine line between what you're legally allowed to do as an unlicensed entity, even if a GC does agree to put their name on the permits. 

walk the streets, order coffee in the coffee shops, talk to the agents, go to the REIA meetings, call the contractors, meet with the property managers.Internet doesn't cut it.
