Thanks for reading.

@Dwight HenningRecommend 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.

They aren't doing it to help syndicate investors.I don't know anything about this deal other than what I've read here, so take everything I say with a grain of salt...but this plan appears to kick the can for a year. 

BRRRR is not a great strategy in the current market due to the mortgage rates so it's not as applicable as many think from reading older posts or books about how easy it is.

I apologize for not coming back here to update my own comment thank you for clarifying this though because someone reading this later might get help from this so thank you again.

I don't need a professional property manager to send a text which reads: You accepted the condition of the premises at lease signing as-is and acknowledged the condition as acceptable.

Gotta work on that reading comprehension, Drew.The second and third sentences of my post are literally:"I lived in Detroit for 5 years before moving out of state, and during that time, I built a strong network of contractors, handymen, and other boots-on-the-ground contacts.

It by no means is an exhaustive search but I also haven’t seen any co-op communities selling for 50% of comparable condos.I also know lenders that have originated loans for the co-ops in Laguna Hills and I was also reading how Fannie Mae buys mortgages issues to co-ops so it sounds like there’s a market for both qualified and non-qualified loans.

Like you said RE is a people business and if you are uncomfortable with people you probably aren't going far. bottom line people our age actually worked at 8 9 10 years old did not sit home playing computer games LOL.. although kids doing that today and have a knack for it and go into tech later do quite well of course :)   I mean for me it was 57 to 60 years ago I am just thankful today I am alive and well and can read and type and still work :)  AND remember those days fondly.
