For example, someone to review contracts/agreements and can guide my team on best practices.

My initial research has been into - kane county foreclosure sales- researching liens online - practicing the 70% rule on the list of 2016 past and future foreclosures to see which properties sell for at or below max offer amounts and to see if i can tell what indicators set these appart from those that sell at foreclosure beyond the 70% rule amounts?

Any best demonstrated practices welcome!!

Your post intrigued me because I used to practice law and so am familiar with referrals from both ends.

But I do know local managers that rip off out of state investors and such even tried on me but difference is im here locally and handle my own maintenance and such so harder to get away with overcharging me and such. let me make this very clear I do not offer turn key properties or practice unfair business practices as you seem to almost be implying but like described I do see happening nd this is why I question this cause I would like offer quality honesty and integrity where it is lacking .

If it's a big job needing practically everything completed, including permits and drawings, etc., then you're much better off with a GC for your own sanity.

If you convert your home prior and decide to rent or live else where in the interim, then decide to use FHA to qualify for a new primary you can use the rental income with out restrictions of the 100 mile rule and still qualify for FHA.Their (FHA) guidelines are rigid, but with proper planning you can adhere to the guidelines and accomplish your objectives while avoiding the unintended consequences of the rules.Best practice would probably be to wait a few months after moving till utilizing your FHA loan to obtain another property.FHA does have a max of 7 financed properties including the FHA insured property (6 rentals + 1 FHA primary) so it looks like you're riding up to your max with the current of 6 financed properties.

Stephen Chatto I'm not a Lawer but my dad is a retired broker he has a book on real estate laws in New Jersey, I am not a Lawer but from my understanding As a wholesaler (flipper) you are considered a broker especially when met listing properties on the web , police can fine you in different ways as in practicing with out a real estate or business license (which is usually the case)NJRS §45:15-1.
