There are a lot of things that can go wrong and sometimes dealing with a local lender that comes with a good reputation of making sure you get to close is worth paying a little more for, especially if this is your first or second deal. 

By purchasing TK, am paying someone else to find reputable contractors to completely the rehab, do all the work to make sure that it will have a good inspections, vet and place a tenant in the property all before I have to purchase it.

One other piece to the puzzle is that you need to remember the Qualified Intermediary (QI) will be holding your funds, so you need to make sure they are someone who is reputable and who has a demonstrated history of acting appropriately.Many years ago, there was a QI who acted inappropriately and who ran off with large amounts of client's funds.

You can figure that out by reading through the forums, contacting other investors in your area that rent to college kids, or searching information on the web sites of property managers that rent to students.

I looked up on the Web portal and it saw the bill.

They are ruining my reputation and credibility before I can even build a solid one in this industry segment.

Feel free to DM me @William Hess and I can give you the name of one that has a great reputation in Oakland. 

If you are an expert at copywriting/marketing, systems, follow up, time management, customer service, interpersonal communication, negotiation, web development, blog writing, team managment then quit your job and jump right in, or if you maintain good relationships with about 10,000 people in your local area.Most people fall for the idea of what life could be like if they are one of the two above.

I found my deal and numerous leads from using the county auditor's web site and performing some basic scrubbing/filtering of sales data.
