@Joe Butcher,After reading the lawsuit you posted it looks like the women might be gold diggers because they went to a strip joint and to a hotel with the subjects, and it looks like a set up.

I don't think they can do a transfer for him unless it is a joint account or the bank essentially lets them because they have shown a POA.

You can pick someone, they can pay before they move in and if they're great people who pay on time, genuinely take care of the place, never cause or have issues, and pay on time consistently, then property management is easy.

Hey mate,Thick skin is needed on this forum and in business in general 🤷‍♂️I just posted something similar on another thread and the best advice I can give is spending enough time finding the right people on the ground before looking at the prospect of a market or a deal.Especially when doing BRRR out of state which is a very tough gig IMO.You can find the best market, with the best growth potential, find the best deal with the best cashflow but if your realtor isn't genuine, your property manager is incompetent and your contractor is a cheat.You will loose money.Also, underestimate your income and overestimate your expenses on every deal and business opportunity.If you think it won't happen to you, I can tell you right now that it unfortunately will...I've completed hundreds of flips and rarely come in at budget from a rehab standpoint.So keep that in mind.Appraisers are a joke and easily manipulated.They follow weird data and many want to cap you intentionally (No idea why...) on the ARV.They play it safe and can see how much you paid and what you spent on rehab so they will cap the value and come in under fair value on many appraisals.I stopped dealing with selling to investors looking to finance many moons ago as it wasn't efficient from a business perspective and I'm not in the business of using "in-house" lenders and manipulating appraisals like many others do. 

Doing the above probably doesn't solve this directly, but by removing and reattaching all the balusters the connections are tight and the glue joints are solid...if that's not the issue then you may need to introduce some other improvement to prevent the wobble.

If they say 'no', that is immediate red flag and I will ignore that.Do legitimate and genuine private lenders go through 'Escrow' process ?

If you have some money to bring to the table , see if you can get into a  Joint Venture for the first few flips and keep it small like light rehab etc  ..

I'm looking at infill lots in south miami dade county in areas like florida city, homestead, etc for joint venture projects with investors to build single family homes and small multifamily homes.
