It's helpful to work with a reputable team.

The impact on real estate is twofold: increased demand for housing in both the rental and purchase markets, and a shift in housing preferences towards urban, tech-friendly developments with smart home features and high-speed internet connectivity.Relative AffordabilityWhile many markets are pricing out investors, San Antonio is maintaining its reputation for affordability.

Also, what a lot of flippers don't realize is that their reputation will follow them.

However, there are also syndicators with a great track records and reputations (Praxis and Ashcroft are a couple operators that I’m aware of).

Can anyone recommend a reputable networking group in the Washington, DC metro area?  

My intent was to use the local reputable contractor (think of the guys sponsoring sports).

My plumber went and discovered tush wipes sitting ON the toilet tank while trying to test the toilet.

So as long as you take the time to add your handyman, plumber, electrician, HVAC company, etc into the software it should be as easy as the push of a button when the request comes in. 

If you have concerns get a contractor & plumber out to give you quotes. 4.

As you said, they show up, answer questions about the local market, provide useful data when needed, and just are a general value add to the forums.I think it's fair for consumers to take what an agent says about the market with a grain of salt, but over time, their reputation for giving good info without the smarm wins.
