Most times, if an appraisal is required, the client pays for it at the time the appraisal is ordered on a credit or debit card (see if your company has a secure way of requesting this from them)That's really going to be it in most cases.   

However, I used a very good title company on one property, a company that had found issues prior to close in the past.  

Is this price point too high for rehab companies, flippers ,etc?      

also the company is going to allow me to be a 1099 private contractor. 

All these companies can do is present a product and give the financials at that time..

The cable companies require you to pay extra for something that you probably don't even want, given that they provide no value and are also another clunky device requiring wiring, space etc.

While running our Handyman company an old school friend of my husband’s reached out to us.

@Jeffrey L Evans Years, yes, it’s journeyman or better for 4 years; a college degree can account to 2-3 years plus 1 year journeyman or better position in a construction company.

@Troy WelchI don't think the location of the CPA matters provided that they have a solid background in Real Estate and software/tools to support you remotely.Finding a Real Estate CPA is simple.

If you are having a hard time finding one, start by looking for a local title company that is owned and founded by a lawyer.
