Personally I am a fan of a turnkey model, and bigger pockets is mostly centered around the Kool-Aid that is Burrr investing. 

I'm trying to network with those who know the market here, and can aid in finding deals.

You trudged into a convention center or the like with several thousand of your closest friends and you were secure in the knowledge that, on that day, the same process was being repeated in every state of the union, in multiple locations per state.If you passed two or more parts of the exam, you could keep those results and then sit for the parts you failed.  

You want ABSOLUTE peace of mind (or the closest thing possible), especially when you are 10 states away.

In this case, the closest thing to that is a clause that says "Borrower shall deliver to Lender such financial statements as shall reasonably be required by Lender, including..." and then it lists off a balance sheet, P&L, income tax returns, and all the other normal requests for financial statements.

In case, you have a new application near your hand and intend to advertise it, these experts will aid you in doing the exact same.

I agree that smiling can help break the ice and aid in communications.

The only issue for me is as of now, the closest IKEA is near Chicago, so its an hour plus drive there each way, so I'd have to make sure I brought a trailer or something in case they didn't all fit in the van, or else I'd be making two long trips!

I'm an American in Calgary, AB Canada and Great Falls is one of the closest cities to me up here.

The thing is, we have been friendly, and she told me in the past of her plans to lie to stores or restaurants that the dogs are hearing aid dogs.
