From NARPM you will get a better qualified, professional PM that will keep you out of trouble.

Yes, an exhaustive knowledge would be nice, but I was hoping that's what a professional forum like this could help me with.I don't feel it's fair to tell a person to exit the stage just because they're not 100% educated. 

From title, to contracting, to lending, they have professionals that handle everything you will need to start flipping.If you need more info contact me or @Tom Dagney - he is the VP of SJREIABest of luck!

Give a shout out to to your favorite industry professionals!  

If you’re not looking for professional management that’s no problem but at least have one find a tenant, do the showings, marketing and screen applicants so you can be set up for success.

Secondly, call out a reputable, professional plumber and seek their opinion.

I'm interested in getting a multi-leveled building that has been used as retail and office space right in the heart of a downtown and converting the space into modern apartments for professionals/executives and/or younger/hip crowd.  

If you've got some other documentation to demonstrate your intent (conversations with professionals, a rental listing, past history etc) again, time for a chat with your cpa for their okey dokey.   

This is not a "cash out" situation but you don't have to fund the rehab.I'm doing things a little differently in that I'm getting a line of credit (from the 1st mortgage lender) to cash out my equity created.With commercial, it's BRRRR on steroids all at one location and, in many cases, it can be managed by professional management companies.

And if she has, then hopefully you will get to form a good working relationship with a new agent, one who who is professional enough to respect her choice in lenders and happy that she’s already got everything in place to make an offer.
