If you know any reputable companies here in San Antonio please let me know.

Until I build a reputation of being able to buy on a bigger scale, I don't want to build a reputation of NOT being able to buy at all.

It all sounds kind of too good to be true, but this company has had a relationship with my REIA for 5 years and seems reputable, although I couldn't find them on the BBB website.

I might try to spray paint the light fixtures and door knobs.I'm not skilled enough to remove all of the facuets without damaging them, but might try to concoct some way to spray paint then with plastic bags to protect what I don't want painted (the sink).

As mentioned above, they're one of the few licensed by USPS for CASS/NCOA (we're another).They're a pretty big company, reputable, etc.

Let the C-corp build equity and reputation.

If it is someone new or doesn't have a reputation you can verify to buy properties in general, then it may be a good idea.

To Ali's credit, the City of Detroit usually lives up to it's reputation, and I've appraised a few meth houses there.

How to find reputable inspectors/appraisers?

But instead of choosing blindly, I would ask around and get a feel for who in the area has a good reputation - usually good reputations are backed up by good people (cause people talk).
