Michelle - My property management companies offers oversight of a larger project/renovation for 10%.

Recently, I've encountered startups and companies offering quick EMD financing at high interest rates (around 3-5% per month).

Sometimes just the mere filing of arbitration gets you a good settlement offer, because they're scared of risking the dice with arbitration. 

But the real value a 1031 intermediary brings goes way beyond simple document prep which is what the lower cost internet sources offer. 

Off market - seller wanted a cash offer How did you finance this deal?

There are a few DSCR lenders (usually the ones that offer trid loans) that do have their DSCR loan show up on the borrower’s credit report.

Happy to discuss your goals and how they line up with what KC has to offer. 

If the rate and terms offered give you the returns you need then it will be fine. 

The turnkey process offered by Zach was a solution for me and provided me with a team of experts in real estate investing.

There are better markets if you are interested in out of state investing and fair chance of getting better returns.I would start by fine tuning your investment and success criteria, then pick and research couple of areas before you make your decisions. for example Ohio- Cleveland, Kansas City etc offer better chances of cash flow vs Tennessee-Clarksville may offer better appreciation.
