My personal attorney did mine, but I'm unsure if he would do such for a non-client/someone he doesn't know.

At 6 units and above you are looking at commercial financingI work with many clients and I have them stay away from properties that have new tenants with an unproven track record of rent history.

While they can be a hassle your looking to build up a client base and having anything you can call a reference is good in the beginning.

I made my clients price aggressively.

I'm a photographer by trade - I've shot for ad agencies around the country, traveled from Japan to Jamaica for weddings and have billionaires among my portrait clients.

So pluses and minuses exist either way.On REO purchases you should be able to get title insurance, where the insurer will search for liens and insure if none found (or if the ones found will be satisfied from seller proceeds at closing).

@Ibrahim, your client lien may have been re-recorded by the IRS for any of several reasons and may, in fact, be the same debt.

Eventually after putting the time in you could get a senior position with a better split or go out on your own now that you have contacts and your own following.If you do not have experience it will be hard to pickup clients when you are talking high dollar amount investments as they want experience.

Hi,If any folks here have used a good, honest and reasonably priced handyman (for smaller jobs like faucet leaks, paint, carpet, landscaping work, etc) and were satisfied with the work done, I would really appreciate the name and contact info.

Unless you take that approach, you won't really be confident that the facts are accurate and complete, or the reasoning in the analysis is sound.Second, while I agree that the lender will have its own underwriting criteria and that satisfying those criteria is what matters most, that doesn't mean a good analysis and presentation are superfluous.
