For example there aren’t many investors that are going to be able to put $5 million into an office building, but they can put $25,000 into a syndication/Crowdfunding.The downside is that you will pay an extra fee for the service and have to be able to feel comfortable with vetting sponsors.

Talk to a loan officer in your state.

It should outline their pet police, what they can charge, and who keeps what. 

@Shane WomboldtWhy not physically drive to a real estate office and ask to speak to an available agent?

Gold Shield Pro Services.It's owned by a retired police officer. 

@Alyssa Dyer Never have the loan officer forward the inspection report. 

Yes, I live in Santa Clarita and my office is there too.The $250k was an estimation for someone above based on a 1200 Sf max out.

Where I am there is a local builder's exchange (like a guild, kind of) that you can call or walk into their offices as a homeowner and tell them the type of work you need done and they can give you a list of reputable contractors that have certified experience in that work.

Offering to stop by someone's office or even have a phone call to explain how you could bring them value at no cost to them might be better received!

For any property, make sure you go to the rent control office in town and ask them if there is registered rent for the property in question.
