They have been buying Greek junk bonds lately along with all kinds of other oddball and unique investments.

I leaned doing business in Texas everyone surveys before closing. out in the west we rarely do that unless its acreage or some other special circumstances we simply would not have enough surveyors to keep up with resi transactions in a timely manner.. but I can see in Texas were the land use rules and no building codes or lax ones and no licenses required years ago.. that you need to do this.. you opened my eyes on that one. 

Quote from @Glenn Barlow: To BP Family:Looking for recommendations for a Strategic Marketing Company that specializes in (or at least) understands our RE business.  

The bond is further strengthened by promptly answering questions from borrowers.

REIA meetings, meetups, calling the "handyman special" signs, calling the "we buy ugly houses" or the "we pay cash" billboards and signs.  

We have a few specialized VA's that do Tier 4 and 5.   

Is there an agent who specializes in selling investment properties in need of repair to other investors? 

Seems like the biggest risk are potential future special assessments, which could be for immediate need vs future projects. 

Never run to the back of the room for the special.

@Rob CucuglielloI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, tax planning and financial planning.
