I can share my point of contact of interests you.

We use Smarter Contact, been using it for 2 years now.

I can also send you list of contacts to help you build your team.

What's the best email or phone to contact you? 

I fairly positive that wont work, i have read that contacting mortgage brokers is the best way to go if you can find one.

So although you may be able to contact an appraiser in your area and get a quote of $500 for an appraisal, $750 is pretty standard to see during the mortgage process.

I'll reach out to my PM contacts in TX for you.

I’ve built strong relationships with agents, contractors, and other investors in the area, and one of my contacts informed me that the owner was considering selling but hadn’t listed the property yet.

So if you want to get some more insight or an opinion I can send you over her contact information.
