Thank you so much everyone! We finally got a painter lined up ourselves :) and he can have it done next week. I appreciate the PM recommendation @Nicole Grimm

Hi everyone, we just closed on our first investment property in Des Moines. We worked with Liz Prue for the purchase (she was great), however, we are now struggling to get the property ready to market - specifically with paint. The property has a mural painted on the living room wall and on one wall in the finished basement. We contacted Renters Warehouse during escrow and they assured us they'd be able to line vendors up for us once we closed, however, it's been almost 3 weeks and we still don't have an estimate for paint (which is also delaying getting the property marketed and rented). We have pretty much talked to everyone at Renters Warehouse including the owner, still no bids. Any suggestions for property management and/or painters would be much appreciated!

Hi! I'm new to Bigger Pockets, I'm a real estate broker in San Diego, focused on residential property management and sales. We will be visiting Des Moines mid-July to check out neighborhoods, etc. I'm looking for a lender, an agent and potential property manager referrals.... I've read through some of the older posts on this topic and just want to verify the recommended people are still your go-to people in this market. Thank you!
