How can I find private investors to help me build my company and reputation.

For a reputable contractor pulling necessary permits, carrying necessary insurance, working with licensed subs, I don't think that's out of line for a full bath reno with tile floor, shower surround, and new fixtures. 

Thank you for the kind words...And yes, I'm truly embarrassed by the editing, especially given my reputation as a "grammar Nazi."

(travel expenditures, security, etc...)Ok, here it is, I placed all contents in "Storage" at a reputable establishment.

The point to focus on is this, if your "coach", somewhat like the more reputable, expensive universities and colleges, is going to charge you a nice amount of money to go through their program, then just like more reputable, expensive universities and colleges have a reputation and commitment to making sure you have success upon finishing their program, they should be held accountable and be able to show success through the students that go through their programs.

WECU has a good reputation and Bank of the Pacific used to, until all the good loan officers left (some sort of weird thing happened with them).  

Would any one recommend a few reputable FSBO sites.

Use your reputation as a  Contractor to attract financial supporters.  

I can get garnishments through the court for additional fees if I need to but I don't want to throw more money at this.If anyone has contacts for a reputable collection agency it would be appreciated. 

I know in the case of one of my mentors, he is successful for many reasons, a major one being he has cultivated a very good reputation over 15 years in his city.
