Unless you've spent years building relationships with owners, vendors, etc. in which case deals will start to flow to you because folks know you can execute. 

You're going to need to pull local mechanics lien laws to determine whether a vendor needs a written contract with the owner in order to record a lien.

Word to the wise- find fair contractors and vendors, pay them fairly, pay them fast and treat them well.

You can leave your vendors off but starting with the issues/solutions you have gathered would be quite valuable 

In my mind, this would include budget tracking/management, CRM for vendors, links to outside service vendors/resources along with a project management tool. 

@Pascal Enohnyaket as you know the Twin Cities is massive, so depending on what side your on the assorted vendors will range a fair bit. 

Hi Amit I intentionally chose to ignore vendors that were not transparent with their pricing, since those typically fall into enterprise grade solutions that were outside of the scope of this analysis.

I am also a vendor member of the CREIA based in Greenville which is one of the best REIAs that I have been to!

In Canada it's often called vendor take back.

I noticed Padsplit has a preferred lenders page with several companies listed. https://www.padsplit.com/host/get-on-board/vendor-network-re...
