HIGHLY recommend him, he does great work, is trustworthy and reliable, and is a friend of mine.

Waiver of Requirements of 24 CFR 203.37a (b)(2) So It looks like Will is still trustworthy......at least until June 9, 2009!!

@JaNae Anderson As already mentioned in this conversation, the most important thing is to make sure you have a strong, trustworthy team to work with.  

Again, I emphasize doing your due diligence whether it is Cleveland or California, define a strategic partnership with a reliable and trustworthy operator.

Despite my lender's reliability and trustworthiness, he was extremely busy and often found it challenging to maintain focus and prioritize my case.We swiftly completed the appraisal, inspections, and termite clearance.

I certainly don't want to get in touch with people offering help after they have just lost their home.I am finding most of my pre-foreclosure info on Zillow but I am not sure their info is entirely trustworthy.

The key to making it as less hard as possible is to ensure you have an awesome team to work with, regardless if you are talking flipping, buy and holds, whatever... it all comes down to a trustworthy team when you are doing something long-distance.As fa as FL, I don't know anyone personally investing in Tallahassee to say for sure, but if you want to go the buy-and-hold route you first need to make sure the numbers will actually work down there, meaning that you can get positive cash flow.
