We also heard that Encore requires that you hire one of their pre-approved management companies which would not work for us.

This might be a little weird but I came across the post because I'm looking for information about REIReply.REIReply is a real estate marketing system built on Go High Level's white-label plan.And I use and love GHL because it's more than just a CRM BUT it's not specifically built for real estate investors.That's where a company like REIReply might come in.You see, several digital marketing companies use GHL to run their businesses and many of them, my company included, have developed powerful follow-up systems.However, the problem is that GHL is only as good as the templates, campaigns, etc that are built within the system.While I have almost 20 years of digital marketing experience and can build effective and powerful campaigns for me and my clients, I don't have nearly as much experience in real estate.Ergo, I'm considering REIReply.If they are as good with real estate marketing as I am with my company's marketing, they have a killer deal.

I will be using a property management company also so recommendations would be great!

I own Virtual Assistant company would be happy to chat with you.

The electric company installed the new meter for free after giving me a credit for adding laying the conduit required for the 200amp to 400amp upgrade.As for the 1/2" (non fire code) gyp, my understanding of the code is that a 1 hour rated assembly is required between "dwelling units."

Hey BP Community, I'm wondering if there are advantages/disadvantages from getting a HELOC from a local bank or a mortgage company. 

The rate of interest on policy loans for large and reputable mutual companies is always going to be competitive relative to commercial or consumer lending.

It can be hard to lump them all together, but here are some of the general buckets I have seen, and companies that fit into them.

You can clearly see what company I "work" for as a residential mortgage lender, but they aren't the end-lenders that get all of my business (far from it), and it's not any sort of secret. 

That's rare.You could probably do a 2nd for the $10,000.Talk to your title company or title attorney and have them draw up the deed of trust and loan terms for the 2nd.
