This is ANOTHER reason I tell everyone "Never do a deal without a team that does not have a mutually rewarding outcome " Well you do not have a choice but to fire him and then keep your fingers crossed you do not get into this same situation again.

They were great to work with when we lived in the house, so I’ll cross my fingers they’ll be the same way for an investment.

My agenda of this post is to not point a finger or even complain but to make BP newbies like myself aware.

Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed I can get a multi-month STR guest, that'd be amazing!

I certainly don't want to jump in just because I'm getting an itchy trigger finger. 

You are not finger printed and have no license to practice.

other than the state of Oregon were you do need a developers license I have one.. to get one you need insurance and a bond .. so that does take decent credit to get.but other than that.. like you said its wide open.. and usually it somewhat self regulates as lenders these days vette the operators or should be.. but people do slip by I know its happened to me.. and pretty much every HML will have defaults and foreclosures. you just don't want to be on the butt end of it.Also I am a NMLS registered mortgage banker.. now to get a state RMLO which you need to register on NMLS you do need an FBI background and finger prints.. does not mean you will get denied but you can.On the real estate broker side you usually just have to fill out a form and you know how many fib on forms..

Something seems off about this and I just can't put my finger on it.

Fingers crossed.
