In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

Since the rent roll was too low, she had to secure financing through a private lender that based the loan on market rent rather than the current rent.

And there are lots of conventional loan programs where you can put down <20%If it were me, and I was committed to purchasing, I would try and land an off market property needing a bunch of work and force appreciation that way.

Analyze deals, build your network, and educate yourself constantly.If you have access to unique resources (like a VA loan, FHA Loan, or 401K), use them to your advantage!

There is one city where I rent some houses and almost everyone that calls ask who the PM is and say they won't rent from anyone that uses X company as their PM.  

The deal will leave the seller at your sons mercy for decades (the life of the loan).

I called my local insurance company, as well as two major companies and was told "good luck." 

I would eat the costs and fix the yard and either install a sprinkler or pay a PM company to water it.

The other tenants would call the management company on Saturday to report the air conditioning failure and were told that a service person would fix the problem on Monday.
