Well, most of the time (maybe all of the time) you're buying HUD houses "as-is" and you're not really using the presumed condition of the plumbing as a bargaining chip.

@Thomas SehonRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

etc.Each of those subcategories can be broken down further into Pages or combined subcategories into sections such as Courses and Webinar Notes and have sub-sections for each course or webinar you attend and their associated notes.As you can see this structure can be very organized and scale well. 

That could be dangerous as well.

@James McGovern and now that the DOJ has gotten involved in our business that Rep agreement needs to be signed ( well it always should have, but now dates will be verified ) so yes if you want to work with a professional Realtor that little document is part of the process.

Make sure they’re licensed and insured, just to cover yourself.Going with veterans or contractors from diverse backgrounds usually works out well since they often bring a good work ethic.

Anyone have an attorney that they could refer me to who’s investor friendly & that understands as well as structure wholesale/assignment of contract deals in Orange County NY area?

I believe the lenders you are communicating with are not articulating this well or simply don’t want to acknowledge they are conservative and it’s easier for them to point to the amount of cash consideration you’ve invested. 

Well here I am, at the starting point.

@keyonte - I was wondering if you will be willing to share it with me as well?
