Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I had been looking for business professionals that specialized in Real Estate Investment.  

Transparency and professionalism are core to how we operate, and we ensure all properties have clear, insurable titles before closing.

Haven't any of the financial professionals noticed that something was wrong?

However, we just started STR property management and it would be very helpful/look more professional to have the ability to esign contracts, autogenerate payout statements, direct deposit payouts, ect.  

Whichever strategy you choose, ensure you're adhering to IRS rules about prohibited transactions and working with experienced professionals to structure deals properly.Regarding non-recourse hard money lenders in San Antonio, I don’t have specific recommendations.
