They have been nothing but gold to me over the years.They have never managed property for me, but I think very highly of them professionally.Hope that helps.As for lenders, I'd start with Steve Bighaus at Security National.  

Do it afterwards and get it wrong and you're included in the chain of liability a potential lawsuit brings.

Then the gold standard was created.  

In my area, if I find a crappy farmhouse on 3-10 acres, its gold.

The stuff I bought cheap at tax sales have turn into gold downtown Greenville. 

Most of the time when I receive an LOI its always from a broker involved in a daisy chain of brokers, but again this is just from my experiences.

It is a big cash-flow property today but it can be a gold-mine if I can slowly turn the place around to a better cast of characters. 

If it's a break in chain they would need that corrected for a clear title.

100% it does - an awesome realtor is worth their weight in gold - someone who knows the market intimately, has access to the best deals or even off-market deals first, understands your goalsProblem is, especially in the last two years when houses sold themselves, is the market was flooded with "bad" realtors.

Their prices are set by commodities, supply chains, labour availability, and of course profit.
