Shop consistently with a locally owned store that is convenient for you to stop at often.

Your number does seem high to me, so I would suggest you shop around.

If you ever have any tenant related questions or want to talk shop, don't hesitate to reach out.

If you have a trusted lender contact, then go ahead and get your pre-approval from them first and go shopping for agents afterwards.

@Matt Rosas  Hey thanks a lot Matt, after a great number of calls I eventually found the site and its a one stop shop!

I'd like to position myself as a one stop shop for home owners with distressed properties where I'd: 1) Provide a cash offer on there home - (with all the close fast, no hassle things)2) Help them list it or refer them to an agent in their area (keeping in mind that I would likely get a referral fee)3) Renovate their house for them then help them sell - I've got the team and know what renovations move the needleI'm beginning a period of what I hope to be substantial growth and I'd like to increase my flips/rentals at the same time so I'm wanting to ramp up my marketing.

I'm just really frugal and really efficient in the way I plan, shop, and execute.  

You'll be selling in 60 days and then you'll have an additional 45 days to continue to shop for the replacement. 

We do have a property manager since we are out of state and this is new to us, and I like the people at the company we chose, but I think they have set rates lower than anyone else, so unless I can start to understand why, I am going to be shopping other companies for occupancy/rates over the winter. 

To be clear, it is totally ok to APPLY for more than one (shopping rates/lenders/brokers) however having multiple loans going at once (if you were doing a loan for your primary and one for a rental at the same time) requires disclosing on the application that you are getting another loan while your current loan is processing.
