I'm sure there are things that raise red flags.

I'm simply stating, in a red hot sellers market, the majority of the inventory will be undesirable and it's up to you to educate yourself and cherry pick based on your individual goals.  

I am in Brooklyn NY, the market in this area is red hot, and I don't know how many good deals there are.

Is this a red flag??

Eager to work with someone reputable who can get things moving without a lot of hassle and red-tape (I hear some people have horror stories with these types of loans).

I know there's a lot of red tape that comes with this.

Obviously I haven't done a walk through or inspection of the property yet, but is there anything else I'm missing that could be a red flag to look for before I pull the trigger?

@gopinath @Gopinath Chandra A few red flags: 1) multiple emails to the company had no response. 2) bank finance terms were very bad. high interest means banks consider this high risk 3) sponsor had no deals in the past 2 years 4) solar panel bond may be an issue when they resale. 

If a contractor tells you they don't have enough money in their personal account to float payroll for a week, that's A HUGE red flag and you should find someone else.

IMO that's a huge red flag that they will be a nightmare.
