Does any one know of reputable lenders who can help me at a decent interest rate.  

If I don't choose Keller Williams, I'll probably choose a boutique firm.

Can anyone recommend a reputable online training program to satisfy the classroom requirement for licensure?

@Serena Salvato I actually took my course online as it was easier to for me. just to be clear there are two exams usually.. the first is for the course exam which is like a final/cumulative exam. then the second one is for the NYDoS.. the actual salesperson exam for licensure.make sure you choose based on your learning habits between in class and online.

It's my reputation and the trust that people have in me.

I have a client that would like to get some additional information on the reputation of a particular builder for this area.

Remember this is a business, which you probably know, and in business your reputation is everything.

I've thought of subscribing to Angie's list as a source for contractors and was going to ask the BP family what they though of that, it's specific to each area and those contractors who subscribe certainly care about their reputation and want continuous work so in my mind it's not a bad option (and the yearly subscription is not expensive at all). 

If you choose to get a conventional loan on the property, you and "John" should see excellent cash-on-cash-return, plus you've got a 5 year tenant on NNN!

I don't have any specific referrals, but my advice would be to work this through a reputable property management team in the area.
