@Ryan Y.If you attend a local REIA meeting,  usually some of the investors will be willing to share what contractors that they use or like.  

Hi Brandon - nice to meet you.

Would you be interested to meet?

Chris Mason I was expecting all the standard disclosures that I've dealt with during my past personal purchase transactions.

I have had a sit down meeting with the lender before getting pre-approved and finding a property to let them know exactly what my competitive advantages are and what my "ideal project" looks like.

Put a 5 day notice on the door you can get the verbiage from the magistrate's office @ end of 5 days go back to the magistrate fill 10 day notice (police will serve this one $40 in Cherokee County)  @ end of 10 day back to magistrate's office file 24hr ($10) notice police will file again at the end of 24hr schedule Police officer to meet you at the house you will have to move all their things to the curb/end of the drive you can change the locks @ that point.

Chris Mason said, a lot of the pros (and a couple hundred investors) will be meeting up in Oakland next weekend.

A good place to meet a good number of investors in Tucson is at the local REIA group that meets in Tucson every month.

Do I still qualify for the standard deduction? 

We've got a great PM engaged at this time, but I'm always up for meeting a new one.
