Question is: is your offer strong enough in a crazy market and will you get your offer in, in time to get in the game?          

You are right, contractors do not need to be certified, but they need a lot of qualifications to run this loan successfully, I a not talking about 1x, I am talking about hundreds of times, with dozens running simultaneous, you want that type of experience, because that contractor has the proper resources to carry the project financially, competent staff to run and hit the timelines, and engage with the complexity of the appraisals, inspections, consultants, it can be daunting, if you do not have the proper infrastructure, you will not have a pleasant experience, the resource you reference, is very legit, they do a very exhaustive screening on contractors, they verify financials, background and experience, but I am not arguing with your point, you are correct.

Definitely considering apply at some point in time.

Lots of people provide great answers, but those answers are typically arrived at from intimate experience in a particular area, and many times the answers are to look in or around certain major cities that are already got markets and have a fair amount of competition.

Never invest in real estate without intimately knowing your market / area.  

Rent increases in time?

Bought a triplex for $179k in May 2017 with 3 inherited tenants who paid monthly and were pleasant.

Hello BP,It's always fun posting stuff on here and hearing what everyone has say, but i'm afraid this post isn't quite as pleasant. 

It's exciting to see the direction this area is heading in.I'm also big on the Montgomery corridor right now from Norwood all the way up through Pleasant Ridge, Silverton, Kennedy Heights, Deer Park, and Kenwood.I'm also starting to hear good things about College Hill.
