You do this sort of thing and you'll get a reputation in no time. 

Is this a one-off operator who might make it their business to screw people over, or is this a developer with plenty of projects running & a prominent realtor in place, both of whom rely on their reputation constantly.

No matter how many dollars Z is throwing at marketing, no one can buy off your reputation of THE go to person that buys and flips houses.Don't be scared of Zillow.

Ask for references, look at other projects, and make sure that they have a reputation for both finding great deals, analyzing well and operating well.

I DO NOT want a reputation for roaches.
