Previously I wrote all the lease paperwork in my name and my wife's.  

., what factors or metrics are "essential" to making a smart multi-family real estate investment decision?

Don't get me wrong, she did do the paperwork and made the calls to get the contract signed and other follow up. 

It's free service that provides an attorney to help complete and file the required paperwork and navigate thru the formidable legal process.

Actually, the day the rehab is complete I submit my refinance paperwork.

I am a licensed Houston Realtor and have worked with investors on many of my deals ajd also have family that invest in our areas, and wanted to know the best ways to build professional relationships with Investors.There are many Realtors and Investors that don't work together because essentially we are each other's competition but I do understand that buying/selling for my clients to inhabit the property and buying/ selling for investors for VERY different.
