Im hosting an investor meet-up tonight.

Find one that does NOT have high spend minimums and different pricing options to meet your needs.

We even did a mid-year check in meeting in person but felt like he did not provide us any guidance.

It's a new resource from BiggerPockets that helps you find reliable property management partnerships and gives you everything you need to make confident hiring decisions:-Expert Matching: Match with professionals who meet your criteria-Extra Assurance: See licenses, experience, ratings, reviews, and more that can be cross-checked with BiggerPockets members-Bonus Content: Plus they'll send you an interactive workbook: “How to Interview Property Management Companies”Hope this helps!

Also, many PadSplit properties have bedrooms that are created via flex walls that wouldn't meet the definition of a bedroom in an appraisal, so many PadSplit owners may think their property is worth a certain a mount based on a bed count that's not valid. 

If you're not having any luck with mortgage brokers (I'd search out the ones who specialize in investments), then go to your local REI meeting. 

It’s a great way to meet local demand while creating steady cash flow.

If a bank does this, they have no flexibility in their lending and must meet Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's requirements in each loan.

Set your boundaries in advance, and if the deal doesn’t meet your criteria, politely bow out.

Pick a screening platform/application that makes sense for you.As for meeting the applicants, I recommend meeting them at the property to show the place to them rather than getting coffee or food with them.
