You will get a bad reputation because they already have lawsuits.Hey Katherine, have had amazing experience with them, just finished my second padsplit and it’s really nice!

Good luck I have used Ashland as well.. they are a reputable company. 

Does anyone know a reputable or comp with competitive rates to set up a checkbook IRA?

I will challenge you to find a single reputable source that does not show San Diego to have achieved outstanding long term return.- I posted a recent rehab that I added half a bathroom out of existing space and the comps showed that half bathroom added $50k of value.  

The more reputable agencies in my area will not become a buyers agent for less than 3%.

I work in IT at a local boat manufacture and my wife works in the office of a flooring company in Longview.  

Honestly I love doing real estate especially in this area because of the strong manufacturing presence and strong wage growth. 

They are heavily capitalized and ready to do the work to find the right deal and work with local & reputable agents.

Not everyone has the same priorities - some care about interest rates the most, other care about the points the most, getting the most leverage, closing timeline, reputation, smoothness of the transaction, etc. 

When we prioritize integrity, we’re not just closing deals, we’re building a reputation that lasts.
