Speak to their references.

I have a lawyer reference in NV that will give you a few minutes of time and they specialize in setting up LLCs.

From there the lender will send someone out to confirm that 10k of work has been done (using your provided rehab budget for reference) and then send you funds accordingly.

This is especially true if the CC&Rs do not explicitly mention short-term rentals1.Bed and Breakfast Clause: The mention of “bed and breakfast” typically refers to properties that operate similarly to a commercial establishment, offering lodging and meals.

I'd be happy to refer any of my clients your way if they are seeking a Realtor who understands investments. 

Bankers don't like to say know, so they like to refer the deals out to people like us.

I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

Do they have any Bigger Pockets reviews or references from other investors you know?

Question:  What specific Insurance are you referring to?

I have heard Texas and most areas would be closer to $100 when its all said and done.You can find good contractors through realtors, HBA in your area, REI Facebook groups and meetups etc.Make sure to check references of past and current clients, visit some jobs in process as you can tell a lot about a contractor by how the job site is kept up and organized.
