Will let you all know more of the experience with Evolve as it progresses. 

If you have to wait on draws or cuts from others, it can be a serious drag on progress.

You can just click on my BP profile and go to my Everyday Home Repairs website where you will see the 3 videos stepping through "My Plans," "Progress!"

(note: I only monitored the progress of these roof repairs, never was involved in the paperwork or process through the insurance company)What do you think I should do; wait to get estimates from local roofing companies, or call insurance to file a claim first?

I haven't progressed to a registered letter, but will do so if I don't hear from him shortly. 

I try to evaluate a specific number of deals instead.

I have been making steady progress towards purchasing my first investment property in Milwaukee, WI, just need to build up my $ reserves before I can pull the trigger. 

Therefore, I got into a property that was not perfect but it was in a good location and good enough for me, at the time, to start my journey into REI.I personally believe in the motto of "progress not perfection".

@Louis Mitchell IV 3 months later, any progress?

You should only agree to pay per progress arrangement, and have a 3rd party to be your eyes on the ground.
