I'm assuming you're referring to investors that provide all of the funds for your flips? 

You reference taking out a HELOC and those are generally provided when the property is in your personal name, which I don't recommend for investment properties.Overall, it sounds as if you're tired of dealing with "long distance" ownership.

Look at all the above and more.History, experience, assets, ability to pay, collateral, references, credit score, etc.The more the better. 

Sorry, no, when I refer a case like this to our Best Attorney the "JunkYard Dog of Eviction Attorneys" he threatens to strangle me!

3.Rent schedule available, as well as lease and income reported to the IRS4.Not sure by what you mean doing it through the city, are referring to rehab permits?  

We refer folks to bank-type lenders regularly throughout the year when that make more sense for our clients.

This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive.

They also may be working with clients who they can refer who they normally would not 

Those who teach generally despise being referred to as a guru in the first place.
