@Chris PurcellYou're setting yourself up for a painful fall if you plan on doing this yourself now.

I would recommend finding one that you work well with, is investor friendly, and their skill set offsets yours.

I would set up service people and call them yourself.

So now as stated I have 3 communities going and so I have 3 separate developers licenses.. 3 separate bonds  3 separate insurance policies. and I am closing on a big 90 lot project in December which will necessitate yet another set of licenses bonds and insurance.. 

I currently have my criteria set at 30% margin, which works great for my area.  

I suggested the price to him, set my fee, and he brought the buyer.

If you plan do to a lot of passive investments my opinion is to set up Jared F.

I set it, they pay it.

This would prevent me from dealing with paying any closing costs versus paying two sets of closing cost for a simultaneous (double) closing.

If they have stuff in their past but can explain it that’s ok for me sometimes but if it smells fishy and is setting off alarm bells which it sounds like in this situation is then you should listen to your gut and pass here.
