I'm primarily looking for a sheet-rocker and plumber.

Preapproval may be issued either before or after the application has been completed. 

Upon completion of rehab, or once tenanted with a lease is ideal. 

They have a large listing but not complete by any means.

They have investors who invest all over the nation giving their opinion and that opinion may be spot on where they invest and completely wrong in other places. 

The S corporation deducts the full amount of the rent, and the owner realizes the income completely free of income tax.- Retirement accounts: Implement one if you can and want.Hope that helped :)

What I have learned from doing many remodels is that a house needs a complete makeover every 30-40 years.

If either doesn't pan out -- either the 1B deal falls though or the permits cannot be obtained -- they invoke the contingency and walk.Now, if the contract had express language concerning the settlement date being pushed back to allow for buyer to satisfy either of those conditions, that would change my opinion completely.

Very polite, proactive in the application process, had good references from previous landlord, has good/stable employment, and when I looked them up on Facebook their information matched everything on their application.Unfortunately, they are not able to complete the screening due to a complete lack of credit history (young applicant with no credit cards or, evidently, student loans).

I am completely new to Real Estate investing.
