We aren’t looking for someone who is accountable for a subprocess and has “partners” they can refer us to for other processes.

@Chris Yeung  @Julian Buick  @Steve MorrisGood morning gentleman.Just to provide clarity in this post, there are three (3) separate companies: 1) Norada Real Estate Investments2) Norada Real Estate Funding3) Norada Capital ManagementThe Promissory Notes you're referring to belong to Norada Capital Management.

There are a number of meetups in Sacramento and we have been coordinating the dates among hosts so that there is no overlap - I run the West Sacramento Meetup that @Ben Howard mentioned (we gather every 4th Tuesday of the month).Here is a list of meetups that we're in collaboration with (they are all based on an abundance mindset that we have here on BP)- 1st Tuesday - REI Connect @ Roseville Meetup (reach out to @Nicole Masters)- 3rd Tuesday - Investor Mixer @ Crawdads on the River- 3rd Thursday - Folsom Out of Bounds (dates may shift a bit)- 3rd or 4th Wednesday - Real Estate Round Table (CH Cafe & Grill) - they recently relaunched and stabilizing the schedule- 4th Tuesday - West Sacramento Real Estate MeetupI'm working on putting together an easy to access list that Sacramento investors can refer to.

Credit score. references..

When they have a sale they can't handle, they refer that seller to you for a fee.

<<< Correct, that is exactly what I am referring THIS IS your tradeoff most of the time when using turnkey companies AND WILL CONTINUE to be your tradeoff even when using a realtor IF YOU DON'T VERIFY YOUR NUMBERS. 

You might be referring to income / expenses that are reflected by cash.Cash you receive from rentsExpenses that you pay out such as insurance, interest, taxes, etc.You may not have included depreciation expense which would bring your taxable income down further.It may be possible that the negative taxable income would bring your taxable income down.

A good contractor is critical—get referrals and check references.

Good question here, generally speaking one year is the expected timeframe before you would be able to purchase a new primary residence (also referring to how long you would generally be expected to reside there). 

I can refer you to a real estate agent who works with investors - most who are newer investors.
