Hi Matt, that is my area of expertise here in Tulsa. We unfortunately do not service OKC at this point but I can point you in the right direction. I'll send you a pm.

@Amal Bhatnagar, send me your email and I will connect you with a great resource. 

@Jared Campbell glad to have you! I work in property management here but most of my experience is in the investment world. I'd love to connect with you once you're settled in and have some spare time. Let me know if I can do anything for you.

Quote from @Erin Dreher:

I would start looking for another property manager. I would voice your frustration with the lack of communication with who ever you decide to go with...set up a reasonable set of expectations up front. Sometimes a property management company will allow you to terminate early without paying those termination fees. Try to actually speak with supervisor/owner and let them know their lack of communication has been unacceptable. 

*look for a mom and pop establishment that is fully staffed for your new PM

This is great advice. I would echo what Erin said about setting reasonable expectations up front. With your new PM, you'll want to let them know how soon is reasonable to hear back from the PM after you've reached out to them. It's frustrating that you'd even have to do this but over-communicating is the key to a good working relationship in my experience. At Evernest, we allow our owners to drop our services at any time for any reason. You might be able to find someone who has the same policy.

Hello!

I live in Iowa and am considering purchasing a SFH rental property in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'm looking for referrals for the following:

Cost Segregation Study (my understanding is that this is worth considering for any property over $100k, and this is $184k+)

Banks that will do a HELOC on a non-owner-occupied rental property

Insurance agent

Home inspector

Home appraiser

Much appreciated.  Thank you!

 Glad you are looking into Tulsa, Jason. I think this is one of the best markets in the country to invest. I've been here all my life and it has grown/diversified drastically since I've been here. I work in property management and would love to connect with you to learn more about the goals you hope to achieve with your rental.

@Roger Le Hey Roger, I'm with Evernest Property Management here in Tulsa and would love to connect with you regarding this. 

@Paul De Luca Great advice! Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like you have a very well-oiled machine. 

Hello Everyone! I'm relatively new to property management and trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as possible...With that being said, what are some of the most common issues you, as a landlord, have faced with tenants in general. Anything goes here whether it be the tenant underwriting process, showing your properties or even keys to success. Thanks in advance from this rookie!

@Michael Mastantuono this shouldn't be but sometimes is a tricky situation. Have you considered asking if they have an agent that they're working with? Or a solid property management company who can help locate them a new property quickly? That's usually a good sign of how prepared they are for the moving process. If you have any property management questions in the future, feel free to reach out. Hope this helps.
