I have heard / read that investors do it all the time with no consequences, but it could create a covenant violation that will allow the lender to call the loan.

Great support, not sure if it’s offered by you but reputable company over here in Sarasota 

The key for me was to realize that the consequences of my worst fears were really rooted in pride and not in financial ruin.

As long as it's not offensive, they could care less what the name is.Yes, it definitely makes sense to rename a property if it has a bad reputation. 

Also trying to put in"seller's commission obligation hereunder shall apply regardless of whether Seller subsequently  lists the Property with another licensed real estate broker or any other party (I have crossed this out).As an investor (this is not an investment property,is my personal residence), I want to be fair and care about my reputation but am not going to be taken advantage by agent.   

You're so right about preventing beginner mistakes...the syndication world is one where you really get one shot to make it as your reputation with your investors depends on it!  

For contractors, I'm looking to locate reputable full service and specialty (plumbing, electrical, etc.) companies.  

We build approx. 20 homes per year, and are working to establish relationships with reputable nearby vendors.Specifically, we are having difficulty finding the following trades:- Exterior siding installers- Brick installers - Plumbers- FramersWould love to share resources with someone else building similar product ($1M to $3M range) for subcontractor pool, pricing expectations (e.g. $/1000-brick for install, $/SF for framing, etc), etc. specific to this region.

The key is to find a reputable one. 

I would take into consideration what your tax consequences would be.
