@Mel HayesOur landlords are also asking for faster payouts, so we are releasing a 2-day payout for electronic rent payments.  

You should have a formal agreement that includes scope of work and a release of lien.

THey aren't the cheapest, but I'm looking at the stress-free release of paying a bit more for lease ups, to not have to put on the armour to fight the nickle and dime approach of some other companies (energy better spent finding deals). 

If it was in FL for instance, the guy who terminated the lease early would be liable for all it's empty time until it's re-leased again.

The VA kept kicking my certificate of eligibility back asking for more paperwork,  come to find out when I got out of the military my unit never filed out any of my release paperwork I needed to prove my eligibility, they are in Texas.

I set out to do it and I did it” Celebrate all wins!!

1) Verify Experience / Check references of investor2) Verify Investor has substantial Skin in the Game3) Verify Deal is actually a deal (has enough meat on the bone / upside potential)4) Get 1st position (this specific deal 2nd position is best buyer can offer...bank will be in 1st position)5) Verify Scope of work makes sense and bids/costs are realistic 6) Check contractor(s) track record / references.7) Release cash in draw form upon completion of various rehab scope milestones.What am I missing (and what above is inaccurate)?

I have ability to turn around and re-lease.

The bank will generally send their inspector out at each stage to make sure the work is completed properly with the correct permits in place and approvals before they release the money.

The current owner leases the property to a corrections company that works with early-release criminals and helps integrates them back into society.
