So yes there are shops out there that do this but to your point they tend to be specialized, but we at least look favorably on "the little guy" or the "startup" we just like to set expectations up from regarding the different ways to engage our services.I'd be happy to show you via webinar what tools we have if you are interested.  

@Frederick Laura shop around...and while doing that build up your reserves.

I like shops and bars and restaurants near where I live, and I need more grit than what some of the "hot" spot offers.

My current train of thought is like this, contact a few agents and PMs, then fly out to meet them and select one for each, then start shopping around for my first property.

There should be more than one club in your bag...

Pack up some coolers and bags of ice and run them over to the tenant immediately to save their food.

To make them match I had a cabinet shop build a few doors that matched the "new" used cabinets I added to the kitchen.

Ive shopped around they are all around the same higher interest rate.

However, i want to shop around with different lenders to see who can get me the best rates.

My original thought was to fill in the gulley and build a warehouse structure on it to rent out as either an auto shop or larger storage type facility.
