And here's a checklist: ask for references, see their financial statements, Do they conduct regular inspections, and can you join them occasionally?

I occasionally enjoy co-hosting (splitting costs) for client events with a lending partner but that is pretty rare as most lenders just want to hold "first time home buyer" classes/events or co-brand online ads for home buyers.  

I dont understand how this even happens, does she occasionally open up her front door and and fling a diaper on the property?)

But my clients are gaining 20k in profit plus per deal and or equity if they refi to pay me off.. some deals dont work though and I end up being the only one making money it happens occasionally but thats on the borrower to know their market and such.

We have this happen occasionally.

Annoying tenants, late payments, occasional not paying, leaving and leaving the house a mess, bad contractors, bad PMs, etc...there's an extent of that, that is "normal". 

I also flip houses, but that is more on an occasional basis.

They come on the market occasionally but usually get snatched up pretty quick and always seem to have already had a deal made before they hit the MLS.

Steve Eisman (ala the Big Short, played by Steve Cornell), is pushing for the Fed to not cut rates, saying it could create a bloated stock market and potential crash.

Seen wholesalers have to liquidate deals occasionally when the flip becomes too much, how do you deal with this?
