Your best bet is to either get a job working for a PM or partner with a PM to build the business.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.

I have never really understood why.I recently was speaking with yet another specialist who put it to me this way;  In Canada, companies are taxed the lowest and individuals the highest.

I am looking for an investor who would be willing to partner with me to flip properties in my area where I get paid in 2 ways: to do the remodel, but charge less than my normal rate, ie. doing it at cost, in order to ALSO earn sweat equity in the property.  

Not a fan of D.C. multi family right now prices are high with rates very hard to cash flow and unless you are playing in the 1.5mil+ you are in at best borderline neighborhood’s & also competing against a ton of newer apartments in most cases.

I also avoid contractors who have dedicated sales people who drive logo wrap vehicles.I tend to support diversity where contractors who were born outside of the United States or were Veterans in the Armed Forces have worked out best for us.What are your best practices for choosing contractors?

but it's not 2016 anymore.it's just to pay the same, or less than, you would renting.I'm going to use simple numbers. say you could rent for $2000 a month, or you could house hack, and if you house hack, you'd still need to pay $1432 toward the mortgage after collecting rent. this is way, way better. why?

I've closed loans with entities way less than 6 months old.You have a long road ahead of you of you can't bring the capital or credit. 

I'm currently sitting on about 20 properties in the Philadelphia area and I'd like to find new ways of getting my deals in front of buyers. 

@Ryan LeonardYour lead flow may have slowed down due to summer coming to an end, people on vacation and back to school.I think your best ROI is to create and maintain relationships with brokers.
