Where can we find reliable source of REI Market trends?

- If I were to buy in Indiana, how should I go about finding a reliable property management agency?

That GC that won't rob you, be reliable, care about his/her work, work with you on draws. 

No right or wrong answer, but there is probably more risk buying a property and THEN trying to find/build a reliable team on the ground.Trying to find contrators, inspectors, agents, etc. you can really TRUST is difficult w/o a property though.Makes the most logical sense to find a GREAT PMC who can connect you with others as needed.

What is it that you look for in a bank statement other than income verification?

This structure lets you leverage rental income to qualify, without needing traditional income verification, making it an excellent option for building/scaling your portfolio.

I've been reading about LLC protections and many sources that seem to be reliable say that a single member LLC is useless and judges pierce the corporate veil on these all the time.

Not possible.The only way to reliably get in touch with motivated sellers is for you to make it easy for them to find you.Get a solid website, work on the 3 pillars of conversions:1.

The contractors I've hired have not been reliable.

As a newbie here, my greatest challenge is consistent, reliable, high quality, detail-oriented cleaning.
