@Collin Luckettjust curious - do you have a successful track record of flips, or are you looking to do your very first one? 

I keep scans or pictures of all of all letters I send this way including the letter as readable before it goes into the envelope which includes the tracking number written on the letter, plus the filled out certified mail paper and the envelop after its addressed. 

However, the reality has proven to be quite different, and I am feeling deceived and deeply frustrated.I am prepared to pursue this matter further, including with media outlets if necessary.

Look into Baselane it’s designed specifically for real estate investors, You get automated rent collection, expense tracking, it makes it easier to manage properties, stay organized, and keep up with your finances. 

I'd suggest using a minimum of 25% of gross rent to cover expenses on paper until proven otherwise on any given property.Only you can decide how much cash flow is acceptable but I wouldn't consider something that essentially breaks even.

(I worked for Ford for 26 years) Real estate values will track the health of the auto industry.

I've met Lee Arnold and he's a wonderful person and has a proven track record of success, which is why we sought him out to be a cover feature in Realty411.

From what I read, I think you are on track for success. 

If I wasn't certain her story tracked, I would ask for documentation of her 401k balance and her application to withdraw money.

@Anade DavisHi Anade, You’re on the right track with reaching out to your survey and engineering company—they often have strong connections to local contractors.
