Have you had an attorney review how you are investing?

We bought couches from Lazyboy that have held up really well and I expect they will last many more years.Some Amazon stuff is good, read the reviews. 

One of the project neighbors slowed the project by 6 months by appealing the staff decision through design review, planning and zoning and city council.

Quote from @Kevin Rodriguez: @Patricia Andriolo-BullTry starting your own business with a website and domain name as well as Google or Yelp review page, this may help legitimize your situation ,then have people on here write you some reviews to help generate authenticity.

The PM group I'm using do great work, per reviews.

If the landlord's lease with the other tenant provides that tenant the exclusive right to sell certain products or services at that location the landlord might have put themselves in a bad position.

A friend advised me to check reviews online and look for someone local with experience in single-family homes.

You can still find 1% and positive cash flowing deals here plus lots of appreciation potential.

Are there any references or reviews you can check?

Check on these jobs somehow.5) Google builder and company names with "feeback" or "review" to see what you may find.It's not really easy to do all this.
