The first agent pressured my wife and I to offer on higher-priced homes, so that toward the end we narrowed our criteria to only nonnegotiable items: The house had to have a good foundation, sell for under $100,000 and be in the school district we needed.We purchased our starter home, much to the first agent's chagrin, and after the deal, we agreed not to work with her again.For my second home, I worked with a referral agent.

Can anyone provide good contractor referrals in the Memphis Tennessee area?

Some custodians and administrators have referral programs that give you credit for client referrals that can make your fees disappear and you don’t need to incur any LLC costs or banking fees as another option.Buying gold has taxes on the increase in value that you will pay.  

We got a referral from my wife's hairdresser.. she said..

Please message any referrals thanks!

The more people you have supporting you, giving you referrals, willing to help you the better!

Question #2, other than good reviews and referrals, are there are other good ways to vet these companies?

Any referrals or managers out there?

Free education is always a plus.On the other hand if the environment proved to be really helpful to growing my STR business either with referrals for single family homes to manage or the same with multifamily, I'd throw my other priorities out for the opportunity to be around the right people. 

from pics you can see its just cosmetic,  ..after close, use property manager referral, and have them prep it to rent..
