I was able to get to the folders and access the appraisal.

Now you can't access the cash.

Compared to other services that might offer lower-quality leads or require higher upfront costs/paywalls, Prime Tracers also give you free lead credits on sign up so you can actually see the results before you commit to a purchase.

You need a repair partner who can get out immediately and has quick access to replacement parts (if not already in stock). 

Can you get access to the property in advance to verify the condition? 

Think across the river or highway from the East End, or south/north of downtown in neighborhoods that have easy access to the city and walkable downtown areas.

The details of the incident remain unclear, but they intentionally granted access to someone who subsequently stole major appliances.

They accessed the property until they finished moving everything out on January 8th.  

One of my connections will fund the rehab for less and give it all to us on the upfront to finish the project at a lower cost.

The question is mostly a personal financial planning question and it depends on your preference and what balance of risk and access you'd like and would be comfortable with.
