100% agree @Jabneel Springer.If you are fairly near Alpharetta, I know of a large and reputable community that can help you with reliable resources. 

Let me know if you would like me to send their info your way If you still consider these HML's reputable, I'd like the information.

Please make sure to look up the public reputation of any company you are considering working with.

The economic consequence to the owner is enormous when compared to 15 or less and SRF operations.

Hello, my contractor in orange is very reputable.

One investor, after reading my business plan, told me to start small and build my reputation around Rochester area then go bigger. 

I'm in Massachusetts, but I would highly recommend obtaining your license and trying to join a reputable firm in your area.

I am well traveled and very culturally experienced and am a dedicated sales and marketing professional who exceeds goals, retains customers and maintains a strong reputation for customer satisfaction.With all that said, I am looking to understand the US market for both professional and personal reasons. 

Can anyone recommend a reputable HML that lends in the Augusta, GA Metro Area?  

My recommendation is to use your network and find reputable contractors.
