You are the customer, you have the money, they have competitors who will be happy to take your business.

What finishes are popular in your areas for higher end properties? 

I'm having a very difficult time to find an accountant familiar with RE investing with good customer service.  

Being new, I obviously have my goals such as finding potential customers (i.e. cash buyers), obtaining referrals for closing agents & realtors, get a feel for the local market, etc...BUT i don't have much to offer in return except for open ears and promises of commitment.  

Not sure if this is only available to "frequent" customers, but worth asking.

I'm doing an assignment for 399k given the dimensions of the SFR, the size of the lot and the property values in the area there are very limited comps, current ARV is 500k+ it needs 10 to 15k for a basic cosmetic rehab, however the updated properties around the area have sold for 700+ so the potential for profit is there...ISSUE: I've reduced the original price and a few investors have gone by but the main thing that comes up is the exposure to a popular street (for the locals, It's on the corner of Shea Blvd and 61st St).

All I need to do is customize it and I want to know if you guys have a better strategy other than buying a Lynda membership to learn Wordpress etc.

You will also have to execute a customer agreement with the FCM (and, perhaps, the introducing broker, if any).

It's one of the more popular topics so I see them often in my market.

Also closing cost are usually split as to local custom  just ask your AGENT  what is local custom.
