I have bought a few rentals over the last few years and that is fine but I want to actively do more.

Here in California, you can check online to see if the contractor's license is active, if they are bonded, and if they have worker's comp.

Daniel Kowal Sounds like a good plan.I was thinking about that very thought the other day...specifically a way to incentivize people to actively look.

Let me know if I can be of help - I will regularly attend treia meetings and my company is pretty active in Raleigh market.

If I were to find a quad with one empty unit, finance it with an FHA loan and keep at least one unit at a time as my residence on the weekends (probably just to do work on the place), would I be committing mortgage fraud?

Their lender says they can't underwrite the mortgage because there have been multiple title transfers and HUD rules say"no pattern of previous flipping activity for the subject property as evidenced by multiple title transfers within a 12 month time frame".How to other wholesale deals get around this issue?

I would network like crazy with some of the commercial agents that are active in your area with multifamily, let them know what you're interested in and see if they can connect you with some seasoned MF investors.

Over the weekend the crew returned to find the entire floor soaked and all the flooring tiles had popped up, carpets squishing, etc. in other words...

Is anybody else in east TN active on BP. always feels great to keep in touch with the local crowd.

There are so many details that I didnt include on here, because when its all said and done, it's just stupid drama.End story is that we had a sit down with the girlfriend this weekend (who is also on the lease but moved out after a week!)
