Quote from @Venecia Baez: I’m learning about rental properties and was looking for some advice on how to start.

@Gregory Banks I can offer some practical advice and referrals.

I’m determined to buy in an area I love for a second home or a buy-and-hold investment for my kiddos one day. There are a couple of $100K lots available, and I’m trying to think of alllll of the possibilities. I have ...

I had an interesting topic my business partners and I have been discussing for quite some time and I would like the advice of you all.

Thank you for the advice Theresa!

Feel free to DM me if you'd like more insights on all this (we don't do biz in Alabama so got nothing to lose).Here's some other "copy & paste" advice on how to search for a better PMC:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend 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.

Any advice would be helpful as I'm just starting out and am very excited for this whole journey ahead!

Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

Good advice. 

However, since you put the asset into an LLC, I am going assume you care about asset protection and further this discussion just a bit.My advice to you is to seek out local banks where much of their business is derived from commercial lending.
