Trust the data you see (income, employment history, etc) but also your gut, do you feel good about that person?

Trusting your contractor is the key part in a successful reno. 

Ill message you with his info, Trusted guy who's overseeing properties for me and two of my friends. 

Also open to hearing about other trusted resources or coaching programs you’ve used to build out recovery housing.

I work with both out-of-state and international clients regularly and know how crucial it is to have boots on the ground you can trust!

But when you build trust, help someone make the best decision for their future (even if it's not a deal for you), it pays off in ways that go beyond the spreadsheet.Have any of you navigated these conversations?

I set up a Trust Account and changed all of my Beneficiaries to that Trust.

For a lender's policy, it would be the amount of money disbursed under the mortgage/deed of trust.
