Any tips anyone can share on how to find a reputable and trust-worthy contractor and/or a lawyer who can write up less riskier work contracts?

My biggest client today is a seller I didn’t even represent during his sale of a 24-unit building—he had another agent.

Always use your own buyer's agent in any transaction. 

From there, reach out to the listing agent.

Hi William, I'm a investor friendly agent and I also wholesale.  

With where you are at currently, I would recommend a regular tax prep agent from a company like H&R block.

I'm looking to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, property managers and contractors who have experience in these areas. :-) 

Local listings, Local agents, Local networking, Local mentors.

Make sure to provide clear disclosures to the seller about the risks involved, especially regarding the existing mortgage staying in their name.Insurance Considerations – You’ll need to work with an insurance agent who understands sub-to deals, as the lender might require a policy that keeps the seller as the named insured.Due-On-Sale Clause – While banks rarely call loans due, it’s still a possibility.
