Hopefully, they focus on evictions, so they aren't overcharging you and know what they are doing.ROOKIE MISTAKE (no offense): You should NEVER accept tenant excuses because - desperate people do desperate things!

Transparency I’d look to outline, as if I proposed this JV, is clearly indicating whether I am profiting from the construction contract with any markup; how the budget/costs will be billed and transparent; and what the acceptable exit strategies would be (as I don’t know if the private loan has any security attached to it). 

You either need to be quirky or accept you will probably not be in the top 10%-15%. 

Yet caught one of the agents as a listing one and proposed those terms, and they graciously accepted them.

Andy (LO BALL) Ho was a guy who passed around the office from broker to broker, making dozens of offers on dozens of properties all so low in offering price that they could never be accepted.

If I was to accept this cash out refinance offer, then rezone the property as commercial, is that allowed? 

They accepted without any negotiation!

Almost 40 days from the WRIT filling and acceptance and landed on Feb 21.We tried many times reaching out to him during this time frame.

Accountants are in such demand, that the best are not even accepting clients half the time.The other problem I see often with accountants on here is that they specialize in larger investors, and have really high prices when you as a smaller investor do not need all the bells and whistles.Another thing I see is folks thinking they need to have a tax professional in their state.

These days, I have accepted it.
