@Eric SmithI would use 99Designs for higher budget jobs and Fiverr for lower budget items.

The property would be around the $250,000 range.I was wondering what would be a fair level of compensation for each person? 

There are tons of great flipping books out there.Next, if you are wondering which route is better to go for financing, Hard money or partnership.

Hi, I'm wondering what are some of the strategies the community has used when the banks will no longer provide mortgages on small multi families. 

We have a great handle of the city, and my day job allows me to travel to all of the smaller communities surrounding it.

I’m just getting things started and want to get into ‘buy and hold’ properties to bring in some additional cash flow.My wife and I have a decent amount of funds set aside, but I was wondering if it makes sense to open a HELOC on our primary residence and utilize some of those funds as well for a down payment.

Here I am putting down 25% of my money, have a great credit score of 780, have a job showing good income and yet they still want to see all my other financial documents.

I'm looking for someone who does good work at reasonable prices, shows up, and finishes the job. 

This simply isnt the case in the REO world.Also, a listing agent on an REO is acting much more akin to the job of a property manager as opposed to a traditional listing agent. 

If they balk, they don't get the job because I'm not going to eat their tax bill and I'm not playing patty-cake with the IRS.Keep smilin'Dennis
