My assistant or I via Googling/people search sites, plus we use Batchleads, plus Fred down in FL (who used to be a private detective) on the hard-to-find ones........

I was part of this REI group called Real Wealth, on this site they have vetted REI teams in diffrent GEOS, definitely learning REI with some hard knocks, but I'm not going to stop.

The ADU now covers over half the mortgage + additional monthly income per horse the tenant desires to keep on site.

It gets more complicated if you then need to borrow even more money to do the renovation.  

Depends on the bank, some due a lower LTV and get you a HELOC with no site visit and others do a site visit with higher LTV.

So newbie question - you basically have to get your GC (if you use one) to come to every potential site and ask for an estimate?

I have seen sites like CreditKarma or Credit Cards under-report and over-report consumers scores, so they are not the most accurate.

In my county it's a one page form, takes about 2 minutes to fill out and they charge $15.However, limiting your liability is much more complicated than simply dumping a property in to an LLC.

I watched a video/podcast once that showed a tool/site which allowed you to see what amenities the most offered amenities were in any given market/area ranked from highest to least (like A/C, pool, grill, etc).

All other sites it's 100% to save us time and hassle.
