@Brandon Turner Thanks for sharing your insight and expertise with us newbies!

Do they have expertise, from experience and education?

I have a rental condo out here in SD, but we just rent it cheaply to friends.2) Time (full time physician) or expertise (brand new to real estate) to search out good deals3) Real Estate contacts in Louisville.  

If the initial numbers look good there’s no time to waste and we understand the need to get the results of the evaluation back to you ask quickly as possible. 6.The draw back to an appraisal, you’re hanging your hat on one individual’s opinion, the turn time is 5-10 business days, appraisers’ expertise is in establishing the As-Is Value not the After Repair Value.7.We do require a $2500 deposit to get access to 100% Financing.

If you don't want to deal with the people aspect, hire a property manager that has expertise in this arena.

@Adam AkalinWelcome to BP, great community - tons of knowledge and expertise.  

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - we are in a very dangerous part of the cycle now, requiring solid expertise.

I want to thank the BP community for sharing your knowledge and expertise with others.

License or not, the real issue about spending a couple-three weeks to get a good education, it is needed as expertise in other areas and logic just won't cut it entirely in RE.

I wanted to see if I could leverage local expertise / investors to better educate myself with where there is a balance of high relative tenant quality / neighborhoods with good cash flow as well.
