Can anyone recommend a firm that does not use Lexis Nexis for background checks?

If you have never done a project, let alone over state lines, then I probably wouldn't recommend it.

Regardless, you might find the copy & paste info below helpful:)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

What I recommend people do is tell the lender ok great I am going to want to use my own title company to close this so funds would go to them.

Whether you absolutely need to or not, I would recommend doing so regardless.

3) Any specific states you recommend to set up any of these (Not sure where I'll be purchasing property yet, maybe Detroit, maybe Cleavland, maybe Augusta, maybe Des Moines, maybe Saint Cloud, maybe Memphis...)4) I already have a LLC based in Hong Kong (We call them limited companies, but the principle is the same).

If you have a competitive advantage that you can bring to your co-hosting/managing, then I would recommend looking for owners with properties that mesh well with your target resident.For example, if you are an active duty military servicemember with unique insight into what a servicemember is looking for, lean into that.

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

How would you recommend, or what resources would you refer for us to properly figure out how we spend our time and appropriately get compensated for it?

Or found a great attorney yet that you could recommend?
