If so, are there really good reputable companies out there?

I care tremendously about my reputation, as well as other flippers' reps, and want to make sure I give the new owners a home they can depend on!

Of course, people say they make 10-14% with a well diversified portfolio of unsecured loans on Prosper or Lending Club, but I haven't looked at this, as I'm partial to collateral.You can lend through a reputable HML company in your area, earning around 10% (they keep the 3-5 points and maybe a 2-3% extra spread on rate to the borrower.)

Ask around and see who is reputable.

That still leaves quite a bit of RE, and it has had septic tests run successfully.The turn off was that the town it was in doesn't have the best reputation, what with modest pretty homes mixed in with trailers and trash.

Josh, I'm not a nurse, can just share that St Johns in Longview has a bad reputation, and Salmon Creek in Vancouver has a good one.

I would just personally pay a reputable contractor to go and do the job correctly and move on.

I'm buying from a landlord widely reputed in the community to be the best, most responsible, most ethical landlord in the area with the best properties--who has agreed to mentor me (a huge reassurance to the bank).
