@John Reagan Johnson hope you don't mind a PMC answering, but most of our clients hire us because:1) They live out of state and don't have time & expertise to remote manage2) They don't have the time to manage3) They don't feel they have the necessary expertise and/or don't want to risk learning as they go and making an expensive mistake.Go read Kiosaki's Cash Flow Quadrant book.

whats the issue if you are the one underwriting the loan and it goes bad it should be quite rare to now want to charge your investors for something they did not do I suspect is going to be stepping over dollars to collect pennies.. taking care of your clients long term is part of doing bizz like Chris mentioned..
