I ultimately invested $65 cash, $5k in legal fees, and $9.7k in operational expenses while owning the home, and walked away with $17.3k after a judgement.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

As long as they pull the proper permits and are licensed contractors (if required in your state), they can legally work on the property.

For example, I have a main account that is for my holding company, sub-accounts for each property, and sub-sub accounts for security deposits and things like CapEx for each property.

Has another title company been engaged?

All the large company started with focused areas and started to expand larger after.

.)- Average days on market- Absorption rate- Historical data on rents and sale prices in the area- Population growth- Main economic drivers (industries, individual companies, etc.)- Crime stats... if you know specific zip codes/submarkets that you'd like to target, the best data will come from local precincts. - and more..I'd recommend remaining active not only here on BiggerPockets, but in other valuable RE investment networks that you can find - i.e. local meetups (meetup.com, eventbrite, BP local events). 

If you are hiring a legal licensed contractor , he will provide you with a contract . 

I like this company.. among a few others in the syndication space.. 

@Anade DavisHi Anade, You’re on the right track with reaching out to your survey and engineering company—they often have strong connections to local contractors.

I asked the first lender which is a big company and they did not know.
