Not trusting your agent 100% is a bit of a red flag, if you don't feel like they have your back at all times, you should find a new one. 

Some people will disagree and say turnkey operators can't be trusted, and its not the best used of capital, etc., but I think its a fantastic way to get started in real estate because you don't have to do nearly as much work as if you were doing your own BRRRR or flip, but you're still getting the benefit of the cash flow and owning 100% of a property. 

You can search online for companies in your area that lend that way.But I'm guessing if you talked to the people around you, showed them what real estate investing can do, and offered a good enough return, you could pool money from multiple family and friend sources to make it happen.Most people aren't sitting on tens of thousands of dollars, but most people have 401ks or IRAs and if they trust you, and you are trustworthy, you can teach them how to pull loans on their retirement accounts that don't penalize them, and give you access to more money than you realize you had access to.Probably start there.

They don't work for us agents, BUT there can be a lot of "you scratch my back I'll scratch yours"-ism in the industry and you could be picking up on that relationship as you observe the relationship between the agent and the inspector.In general if I don't have a trusted inspector in a market I'll default to using a Pillar to Post inspector, since they have fantastic training protocols and have a much higher bar of excellence than the average inspector on the market. 

It's always better to have trusted "feet on the ground". 

I would not use your name, and in most states as mentioned above you cannot have "Trust, Banking etc. in the name. 

Need Estoppels if we don't trust the seller.

That said, always trust but verify when making financial decisions.

To BRRRR remote you need a really, really good GC, who you can trust blind to make good decisions in your absence and has your best interest at heart.
