The key it to ensure they are treating tenants legally and fairly.Great question!

The issue is that often there is a hitch in deals, so if you want to ensure that your contract will stand up, use more money.....or, an earnest money note!

Bigger houses will also have fun amenities like HDTV with a streaming blu-ray player, jacuzzi, kegorator, poker table, darts, and a fire ring with wood in the back yard.They pay for themself in 6 months or less of being rented. 

Need to ensure that the lender doesn't account for payments, send them to a joint account for him to withdraw , this way the checking account will show your payment history.Tax wise, it's better to pay his closing costs than put the same amount down.No prepayment penalty, a seller or non registered lender cannot charge points either, that is prepaid interest. 

Jonathan, some of the players are:Turo, GetAround, Drivy, Wheelz, DriveOn (luxury)@Matt R., DriveOn is supposed to be the luxury model of peer to peer car renting, but you may have already seen that if you're looking into Porsche and Corvette. 

In recent months I have come across several blogs, reviews and discussions related specifically to Real Estate Investors who are looking for an “Investor Friendly” Title Company and it made me wonder what exactly it is that you are looking for and what you feel is most important to you when selecting a Title Company to handle your transactions.After many years working with Investors, Home Owners, Lenders and Real Estate Brokers, I find that each have specific needs related to their role in the transaction and that a Title Company must be able to adapt to those needs to ensure client satisfaction.

I'm looking to find the big key players in my market/community who are doing tons of flips and buy and holds to try and learn and model some of their systems and most importantly bring about value that could lead to deals or even possibly a partnership.

I would definitely be a bit nervous working with an out of state company myself...super important to do careful research to ensure they are legit and established like you said. 

@Mark Solomon I have purchased many properties at the court house steps, in Missouri (non-judicial), we go through a process before making contact to ensure the property is at least in the ballpark of worth going after (loan vs ARV).  

I am assuming that you are considering OU to ensure your projected growth potential.
