Do whatever you have to to find the most experienced mentor you can.

If not, then there will likely be some price/term change you would need to agree to, to keep the contract alive.  

Sounds good - will wait for your verification..

Also good idea is to get a verification that they have their own workmen s comp insurance, so your not stuck if they get injured on your site, you simply ask them to have their insurance guy send you a certificate of insurance made out to you, for your address your having the work preformed at.

Always do rental reference verifications, nobody knows them more then the previous landlord.

For landlords, social media has the potential to provide verification of information provided on applications as well as a glimpse into how they might be as tenants.

So I'm trying to learn how to to this asap.

Tell me why this is a dumb idea, but let's not get lost in what-if's.Lastly, who are the professionals that I can talk to, to make sure that the work I'm doing will result in a property that is bank finance-able?

I could partner with someone, and have a few offers for partners for any deals I come across, the issue is I need a partner who has ALL the funds, and none to my knowledge meet that particular criteria.I'm not greedy, so I could wholesale it, but I would need to to make an offer, which means I still need a pre-approval -- also many of the deals are REO's so I'm not sure if wholesaling is even an option.....Any suggestions???

You can also screen applicants (debt-to-income ratios, income verification, background checks, etc.) through tenant-screening services such as TenantVerification.com, ScreentheTenant.com, e-renter.com.
