I have found that the better you take care of your contractor and also look at it from there perspective, the better for all. To many times we use our "contractors" as lines of credit and don't realize that they have to make payments for materials and permits upfront (typically). For this reason I like to do 30% deposit when contract is signed. 30% when material drops or work begins, 30% when job is completed and I always withhold 10% until I can inspect the work. I know a lot of people will look at it from an increased risk pov, but honestly I have been doing this for years and have never been burned. The contractors seem to always go above and beyond for me. @Anthony Porembski

I am a big fan of Realpage. They do everything anyone would need and cover all aspects of your operation. Additionally they are always acquiring new data and tech startups to ensure they stay up to date with what the market demands are. @Rachael Schwalenberg

@Nick Hammen starting is always the toughest part. Good luck!

@Braden Coleman ok. If we can garner some interest, I don't mind taking lead and setting up the place, topics, scheduling etc..

@Johnny Awwad will do.  

@David Fontaine if you are interested, I have PDF version of the textbook I used while I was going through my classes to become a CPM®. It covers cap rates, cash-on-cash return, IRR etc. If you are interested I can email it to you, just send me a message.

@Jennifer Beadles that's awesome.  I live in Greenwood, such a great market.  

@Jennifer Beadles you do any investing in Indiana? 

@Ken Miller as a CPM® myself, I can fully endorse your comment. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have about operational standards/best practices when it comes to property management.
