Honesty is my #1 trait I look for in a contractor.

To be honest, I don't even like to entertain borrowers reaching out to me who type in all lower case and only send one sentence responses/introductions like that guy.  

I was just blown away by the honesty, professionalism, experience, and impeccable track record.Top Notch! 

To be honest, I regretted the decision because if I handled properties in better areas, I could have done MORE properties, with less headaches and actually make MORE money.So my advice: DO NOT DO A WAR ZONE property as your first deal.The property, its tenants, and the headaches will ROB of your time (which in turn robs of you of opportunities to do more deals), your sanity and your peace of mind.

. :)IN all honesty when people ask me if I have a card I just say no I don't  LOLbut I am not looking to buy anything or rent anything etc..  

Please let me know how you structured these deals with your contractor and what checks you put in place to keep them honest (I trust him but always want to verify) that they aren't marking up their construction costs at all. 

I'm looking to househack with a 3.5% FHA down payment in my homestate (or Jersey) but I'll be honest I have no idea where.

So I am building a powerhouse website where we are marketing ourselves as locals, because no matter where we market, we in fact ARE local, because we are getting teams in every market we want to dominate and they will act as the actual investors there working under one Umbrella.So we need honest truly motivated people that take transparency honesty etc. etc. quite seriously.

The problem is that their marketing tactics don't allow them to be honest. I

To be honest, I am still struggling understating the DSCR, I appreciate all your contributionsTracey.
