I would imagine moving right to an eviction notice might place you in the bottom 2% of reputation in the local slumlord standings.

Combine that with using illegal signs and you're well on your way to having a reputable business.

Any other reputable companies around that you use/used before? 

If you get with a reputable managing broker they will stand by you and guide you through issues that you may have so that you do not mess it up and cause yourself a lot of headache.

Plus, you're catering to their decorating preferences instead of going with something plan that can stay with the property.Plus, when they move out, chances are they'll want to take them since they paid for half of them.Buy some cheap plastic blinds on your own.

They appear to be reputable but I like referrals.

Some people are saying the numbers look very promising and reputable members have responded via PM saying that it looks like a great deal.

An informal meeting I had with a young aggressive realtor in town (who has a sterling reputation and comes highly recommended by many) told me that flipping is very hard, and that the money is in buying a $70,000 to $100,000 house, sprucing it up, and doing a "rent to own" or purchase option deal since folks are having trouble getting financing right now.

I am sure their reputation would mean something if the partner itself is involved in this.

A couple of things that I would make sure to do would be:1) Find a reputable loan broker with a long, proven track record.2) Don't invest more than 65% of the total HELOC amount available.
