In the amendment and in this exact wording we requested "Buyers requests that all work be done by licensed professional/reputable company and copies of all work-orders/receipts for repairs" and "All repairs should be completed on or before 7/16/2018" .

Go to REIA meetings and start networking to find reputable wholesalers and let them know what you are looking for and where you need to be on them.

This why vetting upfront is so important.On the other hand, a larger contractor may have real assets in the company or even a reputation that they want to protect so they want to find away to avoid getting into legals which waste time and money for them.With respect to contract size, in reality anything under 100K is not worth a full blown lawsuit as the legals will eat you alive even if you win; small claims court may be your best bet if you are OK managing the process or maybe using a paralegal.On the emotional side, I strongly urge you to put that aside.

I'm trying to stay ahead of the process by looking for a reputable and trusted home inspector now.

I worry that it hurts my reputation as a landlord since I trusted TurboTenant.

You don't want to strain any relationships with the seller or else you could develop a bad reputation. 

I am investing in a military and college town with many manufacturing plants as well as plethora new business developments.

@James Wise My market I was looking at is a dying rual manufacturing town that is losing the the jobs.

If you network with your local investor groups you should be able to find someone that is reputable in your community that does private lending. 

I'm currently seeking out tools to use for my wholesaling business and i wanted to know if there were any affordable and reputable skip tracing services out there?
