Michael your in the right place ask BP for references in the area you are interested in and they will refer people they work with.

Two rental references showing demonstrated ability to pay on time, leave property in good condition3.

I'm not sure if I need to specify, but I'm referring to buy and hold rental properties. 

You may be surprised but the vast majority of agents out there have no idea what a good flip prospect really looks like and they often refer investors to someone that does within their brokerage.2.

Nevertheless, I have been collecting HELOC references into my Evernote file.  

Are you referring to fees or something?

Tell him I referred you.

If you want to read up more on land trusts pm me , can give you more references

I would refer to what @Randy E.said though.

Unlike passive rental income, the income from an active trade or business is subject to self employment tax (a nasty 15% tax commonly referred to a “social security and medicare” by working folks).
