Sam,He is referring to the Internal Rate of Return (IRR).

Otherwise, check references, search sites like www.AVVO.com or Lawyers.com, their firm's website should be maintained and provide specific resources on topic (this is a good indication that the attorney is tech savvy and more likely to check their emails), you can also see if they are active and have good support on social media sites such as linkedin.

I'm also so grateful you mentioned how flexible real estate is, and therefore a good career for people with kids, because this is a great reminder that if I went back to a regular job, I will most likely not have this kind of flexibility.  

Don't know anyone directly, but I know plenty of people in the MF space in Atlanta and I'm happy to see if they can refer someone.

Banks are limited and Quicken loans backs out of the deal at the 11th hour, trust me, I refuse to accept an offer with a QL and it's the regular buzz in the office that 'another deal fell through.'  

From there the conversation will be off the cuff and you will have to listen to gather the info you need, ask questions about the house, make comments, become an associate of theirs on a regular info gathering/sharing phone call.

I see what you're referring to, but I certainly wouldn't consider them "bubbles".

@Nino Alfano, are you referring to the person who shows-up to give the initial estimate or the crew that shows-up to do the work?  

So it is not a fee.Oral agreement does carry some weight in Texas, so I regularly emphasis to people I come to contact that nothing is firm unless it is written and agreed to.  

Hi,I'm looking for references for an investor friendly agent that knows Woodstock and Canton, GA well.
