Try to get a reliable referral to someone once you settle on a market area.

@Stefan Huber glad to be your insurance broker as we’re the part of the team sport of real estate no one thinks about ;)Also, glad to make other referrals if you need em.

Feel free to PM for a referral.

Referrals are the best way, especially when multiple people can vouch for the person.

It will also be given to the Title company for your loan.If you are concerned about identity theft then consider asking others in the real estate investing world that you know, for referrals to HMLs that they use.

If not, I would ask him for a referral to a zoning attorney.

I have a few referrals but each typically only works within a certain geographical area.

my name is Alex Hewitt, I am a real estate investor in Orlando Florida, I am constantly looking for Gap funding options (someone ok being in 2nd position) please let me know if you have had success with someone in the past and can give me a referral or if this is something you are able to offer. open to discussing terms. 

I am guessing that Clayton received referral fees on 1000 if not 2000 homes sold.

The huge advantage to getting your deals from referrals and networking, is the cost... almost FREE!
