I've been investing for 9 or so years and I will always check with my realtor about every 6 months to see if any new lending has popped up that she's aware of.I know for a fact that a couple of investors in my area are now using my lender strictly based off referrals from a previous seller realtor that saw how I was closing my deal with their buyer.

I used to use someone that SJI promoted but that came with a lot of headaches.

Looking for a referral for a CPA in the Chicago area to help out with taxes.

Same deal: get to know the estate sale people in your target area and get their referrals.

They may have a few referrals for you.

This is accomplished by starting with people you know and then asking them for referrals of people they know.

Any referrals to a lawyer if needed to complete the eviction?

There are certain companies dedicated to helping you launch them and promote them I see. 

Looking for any referrals for a cleaner and/or handyman that we can use 15-20 times per year.  

Give honest referral if called.
