If it has a great reputation and has prospects for continuing to increase its client base, it may have a premium over existing income.

A couple friends of mine are interested in signing up with a guy named Jeff Kaller but I haven't seen any positive reputable reviews (i.e. someone with more than 1 post).Are we better off by ourselves trying to network with people at the local REIA?

The plumber wants to come out tomorrow the 27th and turn on the water long enough to check it out.

If you include financing and inspection contingencies, you can get out if something happens on either of those, though.Since you're dealing directly with the listing agents, you want to try to build a strong reputation with those agents.

I had a plumber give us an estimate of $290 to repair the leaks.

I owned 2 rentals in Amarillo Tx when I lived in Arizona and they were nightmares, It wasnt a big enough opperation to build great relations with plumbers, carpet cleaners and such, and everything in the world cost me a ton, drain clogged, i had no choice but to call the plumber when it might of been a stupid easy to fix problem, got worked a few times im sure, including my drain replacement i think ended up costing me $5000+ but your at the mercy of what others tell you, unless you can just fly down there, in my case I couldnt, and it cost me alot.

Reputations are formed quickly and as a new wholesaler you are going to be off on a couple of deals anyways.

i do not currently know of any reputable lenders that are doing HELOCS on NOO (non-owner occupied) properties. do you or your bro currently claim this home as your residence (or 2nd home)?

The BPO from a reputable broker may be the next best price for you.
