Sometimes referred to as "commercial" loans.

@Ben BradleyThe real estate agent that you decide to work with hopefully closed on a good amount of properties where he used an attorney/closing company to help close the deal.I would reach out to the agent on what real estate attorney he likes when closing a deal.Be mindful that there are different types of attorneys that do different functions so you may need a reference for a couple of attorneysAttorneys who focus on evictionsAttorneys who focus on closingsAttorneys who focus on LLC Agreements / Loan Agreements

Hello, I have a family member that is moving to Oregon and would like to refer her as a client to a realtor in Oregon.

As always, refer to your local code when constructing bedrooms and place safety over money in every situation.

When starting a working relationship do your homework, check references, go out and meet people in person, walk properties, walk the neighborhood.  

As an agent I have worked with a lot of OOS investors and even if I refer them out to my contractors I see how difficult a cosmetic rehab can be for them.

I usually prospect for listings in my own market, however I would like to refer people who want to list to my colleagues in other markets.When someone doesn't want to sell yet, I get their email and plug it into my database.

Can they typically provide references?

Do you remember the episode where they reference turning your vehicle into a "car university"?

There is simply far too much variability person to person and you may end up with a local PM who is really good at what they do OR one that is really connected OR one that pays people to refer you to them . . . and there's really no good way to tell until you've gone a few rounds with them.Best case scenario:  have two homes in the same market and test them, one under each PM paradigm, and see how you like the operations and returns after 3-4 years.
