I am reading about them to make sure i understand what i need to look for when shopping for one as an investor.

Honestly, you can shop around for your own rate these days and get just as good a deal as someone doing it for you if you know what to look for.

If not, the cops are are called.When someone goes to the grocery store, if they walk out with their buggy without paying, the cops get called.If you go to the barber shop and try to dart out the door without paying, they call the cops.Why?

I know if you have your broker's license and your own shop it doesn't matter, but how does it work if you have your license hung with someone else?

Shop around, take your time to obtain bids from different contractors, do not pay in advance!!!

If the businesses were a pawn shop and cardio surgery, I would have different LLCs.

Which means it'll be hard to shop by "listing agent sucks at their job," since online reviews only tell you the consumer perception about how good someone is at their job, which is only vaguely correlated with how good they actually are.

My offer on a 1,632 square foot duplex was accepted. I am considering adding central air but need to get quotes. I am NC. Where do I start looking for quotes and who should I talk to? Looking forward to your feedback.
