Hello BP community I am looking for a good licensed plumber in Baltimore Maryland

(Although your reputation may be.)  

There are a lot of things that can go wrong and sometimes dealing with a local lender that comes with a good reputation of making sure you get to close is worth paying a little more for, especially if this is your first or second deal. 

By purchasing TK, am paying someone else to find reputable contractors to completely the rehab, do all the work to make sure that it will have a good inspections, vet and place a tenant in the property all before I have to purchase it.

One other piece to the puzzle is that you need to remember the Qualified Intermediary (QI) will be holding your funds, so you need to make sure they are someone who is reputable and who has a demonstrated history of acting appropriately.Many years ago, there was a QI who acted inappropriately and who ran off with large amounts of client's funds.

If the hardware store doesn't provide installation services for certain items, begin to contact electricians, plumbers, roofers and HVAC technicians. 

They are ruining my reputation and credibility before I can even build a solid one in this industry segment.

Feel free to DM me @William Hess and I can give you the name of one that has a great reputation in Oakland.
