@Jonathan Feliciano Ask yourself what competitive edge does this boots on the ground partner brings to the table a reputable GC and PM can’t provide?

I do this because if you send emails to the wrong recipients (like the ones that don't exist anymore), then it affects your sender's reputation.

I've found a reputable builder who quoted $110K to rehab the burnt house, including expanding it to 1,200 sqft.

I guess I'm looking for mentoring from someone who's track record and reputation line up with my values and what I want to achieve.

If you can't take criticism, you should quit all business and hide in the sand.What to take from this post, which always goes bonkers when people try to play, is that there is a better way to do things on here and in turn, that will help these agents get better business and build a better reputation and not tarnish a whole company's profile because they spam. 

These are reputable people who stand behind the properties they find and are reliable for ensuring a smooth transaction.

2) Who are some reputable names?

Just be sure you fully understand the process to avoid any mistakes.When picking a firm, make sure to go with a reputable one.

@Stuart UdisLike every industry, there are those who are highly successful, reputable, and advanced, while others are average, filled with fluff, or even scams.

If your looking for the least amount of risk and biggest bang for your buck I would look for a company that is a reputable turnkey provider thats actually in Detroit and offers things such as an efficient boots on the ground team, all sorts of established local relationships, solid in-house management, an operation that is highly skilled and well versed in section 8, a company that has proven relationships with both out of state and local lenders.
