@Mike Dymski I'm a new investor and very eager to learn the proper way to conduct business in any venture I take on.

There's also a joint venture contract that you can do between you and the other wholesaler that should protect you from getting cut out.

there are quite a bit of people/websites offering such a database for a price of course(google/bing/yahoo search). how reliable it is varies. then there's the option of compiling the most updated list as a DIY thing for much affordable with a learning curve thrown in. my coin.  

He wants less stress load... he's DIYing the props.

I'm so lost on this sort of thing and I am really motivated at getting started on this venture but I'm all alone and need some guidance. 

There are some energy tracking tools out there, but nothing that can handle that many circuits that wouldn’t end up being more of a DIY project.

Hi Greg, Maybe call around locally and see what the competition is getting and what they are offering regarding access and security to price yours appropriately.In some areas this looks like a promising venture.

Overhead door company can adjust and lube springs and probably install weather stripping on bottom of doors thought thats a pretty easy DIY (or handyman job too). 

I imagine that is your plan as you said earlier you've got $5,000 to put into this venture.

I've never ventured into the HML world, and stopped offering non-qm, because 95% of people don't believe me when I say that rate/fee shopping these loans is 95% about how much risk tolerance you want the lender/underwriter to have, and 5% about getting a "better deal."
