My guess is the 10% mark up because that's far less than any reputable GC will charge for their services. 

Wow I personally have never heard of a reputable lender HML not requiring title insurance. does that really happen out there in the wild ??? 

To protect my reputation in the biz and the capital of my investors, having a coach on board is a MUST. 

Great neighborhood, great school district, big house, rehab done very nicely (may be biased) working with a very reputable well known agent and it’s been sitting on market now for 40 days even with a price drop.

Any experience with reputable self storage and mobile home park syndicators?

People in the industry who have had money/reputation on the line.

The poor broker who gets scammed is not only out a lot of money but their reputation is going to suffer big time as their borrowers info is now all out on the Dark Web..

I did basically push one incompetent appraiser out of the San Diego market because his appraisals were so bad he was getting the reputation he deserved (I won 2 large appeals and he left when I was appealing a third which sucked for me).  

When I asked Amy about this she sent this to me in her reply threatening financial ruin on me and my family if I complained to the BBB (no idea where she even got this from), but this should tell you all you need to know about this company:"Our Corporate Attorney wants to make it very clear to you, Jason, if you complain to a 3 rdparty or post anything negative online about the company, associates, or coaches you areintentionally maliciously defaming our company and since our reputation is veryimportant to us that leaves us no other option than to have our Corporate Attorney sueyou for Defamation and/or Fraud.

There is also the local knowledge of a market like here in Lake Tahoe where lending can be trickier so an offer with a local lender might get chosen because they have a reputation to get a deal done vs a national lender that can have more red tape and a slower process.
