If the guy is in the lawn business and has a small acount at Joe's Lawn Mower Shop, that is probably not reported credit.

My though at the time was that if I had a partner/contractor with some skin in the game that the project would move along quickly and be done in a quality fashion.

There do not seem to be any deals when shopping retail on the MLS, so I am looking at buying a list next.

You know the demographics, the streets, shopping centers, places of worship, if any new developments are happening, companies in town, schools, etc.   

It's in dire financial condition, but hasn't closed shop yet. 

If its someone that lives in the area I meet them at a coffee shop before inviting them to the house.

Also, the fact that they ll have 25 commercial space at the ground floor already committed to shops, restaurants, a gym , etc.I'm sharing the YouTube video Take careJavier

(https://www.housingwire.com/ar...) were the big shops that were too busy building up massive pools and throwing money at scaling to notice the rapid transformation of the market and vertical rates - the smaller nimble shops with smaller balance sheets that were constantly in the secondary market were able to pivot much quicker.For the same reason that Zillow, OpenDoor failed, at the end of the day residential housing is still an local market and an "exception-based" business, lots of factors make it easier for leaner shops to compete.I also think when it comes to attracting talent, its hard to get people who are used to agency (QM) loans to expand and do DSCR - its a lot more work! 

They can shop around and find you the best rates and coverages from all the major and smaller insurance companies.  

Based on my experience, you should be able to get a bathroom done for that price with a little shopping unless you are in a huge hurry.
