@Austin Mountain

How do you tell a good PM company from a bad one?

@Terrell Garren

I understand now so you focus on housing in the B class which is more of those blue collar workers working paycheck to paycheck. However those “B” properties can also be class A or C properties (depending on the circumstances). Is this relatively correct ?

@Ola Dantis

I really appreciate the feedback and definitely have to agree with you and everyone else, who’s really given feed back on this topic. I am attempting to get my first property before the end of this year and since I am house hacking this one. I will just manage it myself and this way I can learn the most.

@Terrell Garren

For starters, if you don’t mind me asking. What exactly are Class B SFHs? And I want to be more hands on. I was just under the impression that more hands on meant more time invested. Thank-you for taking the time to respond to this post. Your input is very much appreciated.

@David Barnett

I definitely think based upon what I have read and the given the situation that I am in and what I am trying to accomplish. That I am going to stay away from PM for the time being. Just because I definitely prefer the hands on method, and I would actually like to learn more at the same time. But thank you so much for your input. I really appreciate it.
