Echoing what Nathan said-make sure you compare the scope of work both are planning on doing and vet your person.

I'm planning to reach out to a host of a comparable MTR unit in Ontario Ranch, CA.

In addition, I included my plan strategy in the attachments. 

Hello, I am looking to learn more about the BRRRR method, I am starting my journey through wholesaling and plan to grow as I learn.

Currently prepping a new property in Arizona for the rental market and seeking advice on planned updates:Considering upgrading laminate countertops to quartz for durability and aesthetic appeal.Freshening up interiors with a repaint.Looking for reliable washer and dryer units suitable for rentals.

Also due to contractor un--availability, rehab problems plan on a 6 mo close to close period.  

I am currently getting things lined up to purchase the Real Estate Salesperson License course for Illinois, am reading books on sales, listening to podcasts, putting together a business plan, looking up Investor Meetup groups, researching brokerages, and just about to finish the Bigger Pockets book on "How to Invest in Real Estate. 

Other hidden costs you need to consider when evaluating HM lenders:-Applications Fees-Administrative Fees,-Commitment Fees-Underwriting Fees-Origination Fees-Loan Servicing-Rehab Draw Fees-Inspection Fees-Interest paid on undrawn rehab budget?

If you plan on transferring the property into an LLC (which I agree with @Jonathan Klemm, is not always necessary or recommended) then you will have to register is with Indiana at inbiz.com if you did not form it in Indiana. 

We would like to do it all legally with plans approved by the town.Any recommendations for an architect / company that can assist us with this project?
