That being said, it might cost you a little more than subbing each trade out but you're likely to make up for that cost on the sale and the time you save by working within established relationships.If there are any major issues with the project you're looking to take on you'll want to take pictures if you can so you can send them in advance so any contractors can bring the necessary tools to assess the scope of work.Take a quick look at the materials you're going to need for the site either on Home Depot or Lowes or something similar so that you know roughly what the cost of materials is going to be.

@Sam Wilson good to hear your experience with HML as I'm currently looking and glad they stepped up to resolve the issue for you. 

I'm having an issue with a tenant breach of contract and seeking a referral for a Raleigh-area attorney.Thank you.

They would have audit, exam and compliance issues with having a foreclosed junior, and successor non-obligor behind them.

Any 2nd lender has a much higher risk of a loss from the DOS, and that's if they can even wrap their head around the title/loan name issue.

I knew it was a risky bet as Baltimore has much crime and systemic issues they can't seem to overcome.

The takeaway here is to become familiar with determining loan quality for yourself when working w/ a broker.In addition to the capital gains issue Jeff mentioned, there is cash drag.

I've used their credit and background checks for years without issues except for one fraudulent tenant/application.I have noticed on most of the applications I don't see anything pop up for the background check but the credit check seems pretty thorough.

The issue is that a majority of the MLOs that approach us ask us what we can do for them, not how they can help us.

Effective communication, emotional intelligence.
