Myself and family truly loved the property and house; just want others opinions on if this may be a mistake to proceed, or does this appear common practice for the age and location (upstate New York). 

Greatest mistake I see would be investors make.. is don't do deals because they think THEY are the key to success when in fact its the MONEY that is the key..

I have gotten a number of mistakes in the distributions, but they always seem to correct them and say that their new system will obviate that kind of thing going forward.

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.

I hope this stops someone from making a big investment mistake i will start posting everywhere.

I'm in Indianapolis and the mistakes I see remote investors making is not understanding the differences in price points from the coastal markets vs. the midwest.

@B RyansRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I think most investors make most of their mistakes in their first 5-10 deals.

@John Leschber I've made mistakes too.
