Centralize your back office / use remote employees / VA where appropriate to cut costs and improve service levels / responsiveness.  5.

He advised us to text him if we didn’t get a response from her.We obviously love the place, and it seems to fit our needs.

The lady said what if there were 100 documents, my response was there are 3 documents and no where near 100.

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

@Anthony MurphyHey, sorry I never saw this response.

Youre right, but if you are doing the work yourself it can be daunting because the buck stops with you and having that responsibility on your plate 24/7 every waking hour of the day and putting in 12 hour days, it can be rough.

Having reliable contractors who can shoot you straight regarding providing an accurate scope of work and expenses is crucial.

But your subject line is pretty generic, try something that is more descriptive like a newspaper headline, you will see some good responses.

So, How does one leverage this very important area of an investors responsibility and (for lack of better way to present it), market or signal to other investors who may be looking to partner?
