I keep "lesson learned" notes to reference as we go along because it's too much to remember (and sometimes you want to forget some of the painful moments, ha!) 

For future reference....just because someone says a dog in an ESA doesn't mean it is. 

Sometimes referred to as "commercial" loans.

As a follow-up,  this is definitely a lawyer item but for reference,  this article may be a good start for some additional perspective.   

I get paid for referring the investor once they close, the investor gets his deal if he’s deemed it a sound investment(whether it be a rental or a flip etc.), and everyone becomes a bit more wealthy My question is how do I go about finding investors in California that want to buy in the Dallas market?

Again, it may work differently in your area, so consult an attorney in your area to understand your options. do you know any attorney who does quiet title actions in california. please refer me

When I referred to minor things yes, I included the insulation and some burnt lightbulbs, windows that don't open, a half working oven and dishwasher, and a tree growing next to the house tilting the condenser to the side and too close to the foundation (inspector and plumber said it will have to be removed to not mess up with piping under the house).

Back end refers to your debt to income ratio.

They won't take your calls or give you any more information, which is why it's all referred to outside counsel.  

but that definition has to do with the tax implications of a vacant rental unit.2 - are you referring to how an actual rental rate gets decided?
