Even better for you if it's a reasonably reputable local or regional lender who did this.

I only say this because as you explore this sites resources you'll come across conversations about people having problems with some wholesalers and will probably hear about it in the REI community in your area.

We have fully licensed and insured contractors, electricians, real estate agents, and public notaries on the team as well as third party association with reputable contractors for the areas where we need to outsource. 

Also explore private money (friends and family loans) and credit union financing.  

Nothing is more important than in business/Real Estate as your REPUTATION.

Now do wholesalers have a bad reputation in real estate? 

So I am inquiring about a reputable company or investor that you can refer me to for Lease Option for myself. 

I've got about 25% to put down, the numbers look pretty good (just over 2% rule) just wanted to explore some other optionsThanks !

Of course we all know of a few glaring instances giving investors a bad reputation.

Many have told us they have NEVER been to one of these before, and us showing them our appreciation will be returned with great service and priority to our clients.Money and up charging is very small compared to your reputation to your owners, tenants, and vendors and more importantly setting the expectations with them in the beginning.Any vendor that wants to work with us has to come and interview and let us know why they think they would be a good fit as a 3rd party vendor, what they want to expect from us and what we are expecting of them.Works great, keeping our lines of communication open and upfront from the begining.
