I went back to Memphis last year for the first time in six years to find all is as advertised with very minor exceptions.We have picture inspections done every four months, cost $75, because I'm a trust but verify guy.Good people, good service.   

Don't expect these people to have anything to do with you once the transaction is over and a lot of bitter, nasty fights along the way. 

People like it because you don’t need to own property—just lease it, list it on Airbnb, and make money if guests pay more than your rent and expenses.The catch?

You need a firm estimate for the remainder of the work as your funds are limited (like most people who don't have an endless amount of money).
