We could have gone with a 203k instead of your client’s offer, but chose the cash for obvious reasons as timing is critical to my clients and they are counting on the closing this Thursday, June 18th.It’s a shame your folks do not have a contractor relationship who understands how to create a quality product, while ensuring an investor gains a healthy return on their investment.

I know I'm in the right place to learn quality information from qualified people so LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Any good methods for pulling out the capital in the property?

What are good qualities to look for in a good title company?
