etc  I've always thought the designation was somewhat arbitrary but Turnkey companies seem to put a lot of emphasis on this designation.  

@Steve McCondichie   I went to a appl conference in Vegas nice organization although when I sat through there class to get verified as a appl lender it was basically very basic information .. being appl associated is in my mind like being a member of the BBB  .. you pay for that designation.. but good networking no doubt.. but nothing a borrower should hang there hat on..  

Do you agree that blasting negativity  about wholesaling .. on a wholesaling board designed to help others get education on how to do it, is a good thing to do?

Design?

In order to do Fannie/Freddie deals the underwriter has to be a Designated Underwriter with experience and a certificate.

Because we were going to focus on flipping houses we actually went with a name that had more to do with design or custom building if you will.

Use the elements of CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design). 

Don't you need an architecht or draftsman or designer in the mix here?

Google "residential styles" I bet you get tons of designs to look at, from tiny houses to mansions. 

,I actually had a design firm in Denver for 9 years, and prior to that ran the same company in the San Francisco Bay Area for 2 years (Minor Details Design | Drafting), and prior to that I had a stint at LLNL.
