Just trying to make sure that I'm not rushing and stressing while conducting my due diligence, and making sure that the process goes as timely and efficient as possible.Currently, I am looking at weighing my options when it comes to hard money lenders.

Sort of a parable about how to think about money.The 4 Hour Workweek—some nonsense, but also some good strategies for being efficient with your time.The Millionaire Real Estate Investor—really comprehensive look at the path to building wealth in real estate.

We moved to reduce our expenses, drive a 10+-year-old fuel-efficient vehicle, and don't have expensive cable or cell phone bills. 

A lot of people mistakenly believe that turning that system off when they leave the house is the most energy efficient. 

I feel like if I were to start a company that would help out Flippers/Investors, then I would surround myself around these types of people more frequently, and it would allow me to acquire properties more efficiently in the long run and would allow me to get out of the "9-5".

There are other unique ways we will be working with labor and the business model to provide an efficient set of systems but thats not necessary to talk about right now. 

I agree it wouldn't be worth it to take them to court I would also look into a duel HVAC system with your upstairs being cooled by cooled and heated by one compressor unit and the first floor and the basement being cool by separate unit it's would be a whole lot more efficient and worth the money in addition I would look at my local community for salvage yards refurbish places that sell compressors you can save half on finding a used compressor and having it installed by professional

They also can rehab for significantly less than I can so their efficiency in their rehab helps their profit. 

There are quite a few, but most are expensive (as you mentioned) so I turned to my PB friends here for guidance that will make me as efficient per hour as possible in those conversations!  

Maybe not the most efficient but I got it done without much issues and it looked nice and became my best performing unit.I guess it depends on how big your area is.
