The problem with finding contractors to finish is finding a good and reliable one, especially in south Florida I have not been able to find anyone over the years. 

Are you looking for one because you are locked in at a low interest rate?

We would greatly appreciate any advice on promising markets, recommendations for reliable agents and lenders, as well as insights on how to proceed as newcomers to the industry.

You cannot cut locks, you cannot take possession, you cannot set foot on the property, you cannot make any improvements.

Hi BP, My wife and I are currently looking in Las Vegas and would like to know some of the best, reliable property managing companies in Las Vegas.

Security- Put a lock on the hitch.

If they refuse, you can probably put your own lock on the unit and give them notice that it's going to auction.

There are many who are given and follow a specific script with zero intentions of having money to buy an asset and then lock it up under agreement for six weeks and try and get funding after the fact.

wow, that a new one on me I can see why the guests were freaked out.It's great to have reliable people that can fix things quickly!

I would only do a HELOC if you have a mortgage and are locked in at a low rate from the COVID era; if a property is free and clear, I would just do a cash-out refinance.
