We have a real estate investor's meetup group in Bakersfield each month which is a good way to network and meet other investors.  

I have a very diverse skill set - most importantly, good professional communication, process development, an financial literacy.

Hey all, Im looking to do a title check and instead of paying a company a few hundred; I was wondering if anyone has a good experience with websites like "beenverified.com" or other methods to check for liens/title issues?

If the cash-out refi provides liquidity and good terms, it could be worth taking, but make sure it doesn't interfere with your construction funds.I can help you assess both options and see if we can offer a more favorable solution.

Is there anyone on here with good references of contractors that can help me out along with the best property managers in the area for me to visit with to determine who I should hand over operations to once the work is done.  

Hey Ben, good question. 

People either take pride in their work and do a good job or are just chasing a paycheck.
