insulate the crawl space to stop rising moisture Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Kirk Garner here's our standard copy & paste food for thought:).Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

This includes details about the current market trends, investment opportunities, challenges faced, property management considerations, and any other factors that may be pertinent to someone considering real estate investments in these areas.I am open to any advice, suggestions, or recommendations.

Randy Nixon from One Trust Home Loans and Vanessa Lono from Umpqua Bank were both recommended to me by a modular sales rep who said that they work them often.

A lot of lenders of various sizes on there that can help with some of the logistical questions, software, contracts, recommendations etc. 

Your PMC is recommending the path of least resistance, because mold claims could be VERY expensive.Also, many insurance companies will NOT cover mold issues.So, call your insurance agent and see if this will be covered or not.At the same time, direct your PMC to get a professional mold test done to determine if there actually is a problem or the tenant is mistaken or exaggerating. 

Hello, does anyone have a good handyman recommendation in the Suffolk/Portsmouth VA area?

In fact many of our properties are done that way - we get a signed contract and then turn the package over to the closing attorney and move on to the next one until closing day.Your local REIG can recommend some good closing attorneys / title companies and they will usually be happy to walk you through the process and even provide you with the forms you need to get the deal locked up and closed.

On a side note, do you have any book recommendations to further my education?

I’d prefer not to switch so I’m trying to figure out hire to track this stuff, any recommendations?
