For example, after Hurricane Ike during my time in Houston roofing costs spiked bc materials were harder to get a hold of etc.The bottom line is if you put something together for yourself get some trustworthy contractors, talk to them, get some bids, and from there you'll have a true understanding of what your costs are.

Along the way you will get rewarded for your hard work ethics and trust worthy business.Hope this helps.

Perhaps they have been interested in potentially investing with you since the day you met, but they have been watching you over time to see if you really are as trustworthy as you first appeared to be.The great thing about trust is that it is transferrable from one activity to another.

Where they professional, affordably, trustworthy and honest?  

In the end, you'll find that working with a select group of quality, trustworthy investors is the best route rather than mass-blasting a distribution list of random money.

Trick is obviously finding someone trustworthy, but if you have friends/family in the area, they might be a good starting point.

That way, you won't be in way over your head trying to youtube the answer to every question.Then you can focus on finding a hard-working, trustworthy contractor with whom to partner.This will be an especially attractive proposition to a contractor if you have cash or the ability to obtain the financing to get the deal started.

Finding trustworthy local managers was tough.

Have experienced and trustworthy Team members that are local to your properties.  

Especially a trustworthy Attorney.
