By the way, HUD does concede that we can automatically deny housing to people with convictions for drug manufacture or distribution, but not for simple possession.

Does anyone know of any reputable buyer's agents in the Hampton Bays, New York vicinity that have experience working with investors?

I called the manufacturer and discovered it had THREE days of warranty left on it!  

They have excellent reviews on Google and the BBB, as well as a good reputation by other builders.

Hello everyone,I'm looking for a reputable company  to do a self directed IRA in the northern NJ area.

The better reputation the have the better off you will be.  

First of all commissions are negotiable.Second a majority of commercial brokerages offer a co-op because it is just GOOD BUSINESS and in the best interests of a seller to do so.Some brokerages and there are a few on the commercial side have a very bad reputation for dirty dealings with other brokers.

I do have a clause stating that I can back out of the deal if I'm not able to assign the contract, but I kinda think that ruins your reputation and I really just want to exhaust all my resources and get the deal done.

And they are a reputable company.My purpose in this post is simply to be aware of other commercial lenders in the market. 

Get multiple quotes from contractors that have good reputation/references and pay the going rate.
