The rest of the evening was for networking but we had to leave because it is an hour away for us (Shawnee).I have been investing for a while now so I may be a little jaded to the stories of the woman who gave them her cruise money for the class and was able to go on a cruise anyway because they made her so much money!

I've been ripped off on projects they managed for me, I've had them place tenants that had just been evicted from other properties, I've had them ignore tenant complaints about leaks and other MAJOR issues, all of which became MUCH worse due to negligence, I've had managers fail to get occupancy permits and have paid a steep price for their failure to do so, and on and on . . .If a manager has done something wrong, it has happened to me.I'm a bit jaded now, as I'm still dealing with the fallout from this 5 months later.Want my advice?

I saw a previous post of yours Tim Macy and followed up with Jade and the guy out of Austin.

Maybe my expectations are jaded due to just 5 to 6 months ago I could have made much better purchases.  

People on here have been jaded by working with realtors that didn't know what they were doing or didn't look out for their best interest.

@ Rolanda - Thanks@ Jade - There are definitely some areas better than others area the city of Houston.
